The latest polls from Zougla.gr taken between the 23rd and 28th
of August have placed Golden Dawn at 12.4%. This is fairly consistent
with even the most systemic-controlled polls of the state, which
generally place the Nationalists consistently at number 3 at various
percentages.
Given the poor results of the leading parties, who are unlikely to
formaa majority government without a coalition, there is a good chance
the 3rd largest party could become National Opposition
following the upcoming elections. Although the Popular Unity Party
(Syriza splinter group) were unfairly given the chance to form
government in place of Golden Dawn, it is fair to say their short lived
place at the top 3 will not remain for long if the latest poll results
are anything to go by.
Although Golden Dawn’s rise in popularity has been forecasted by a
number of political commentators and analysts, these latest results from
Zougla.gr place New Democracy well above Syriza. As it stands, New
Democracy currently has an interim leader since the departure of
Samaras, who has neither the direction nor the charisma to be a serious
leader of the country.
The latest trend in Greece has been the fragmentation of the
traditional and largest parties, which includes the split between New
Democracy and current coalition leaders of the Independent Greeks,
Syriza and their break aways of the Popular Unity Party, and Papandreou
who formed the Movement of Democratic Socialists from PASOK.
The lack of unity amongst the systemic parties suggests that as
their votes are split between them, they may lack the ability to form a
government that satisfies either of their voting bases. As we saw with the
last government, New Democracy and PASOK supporters were both
abandoning their parties following their inevitable coalition. The same
can be said for the latest Syriza / Independent Greeks coalition, which
neither hard line Marxists or Patriots approved of.
The coming political chaos that has been created artificially by foreign powers and the self-destructiveness of Social Democracy suggests few parties other than Golden Dawn will have anything to gain in the proposed September 20 elections.
