John Psaropoulos on the effects of austerity on the Greek political terrain:
If you look at opinion polls now, however, fully 42 percent of voters would go to the communists and left-wing parties, parties left of the socialist PASOK. That is a dramatic shift never before seen in Greek politics. It represents a threat to the incumbent powers and suggests that, if an election is held in the spring, as is widely expected, the result may be the most unpredictable that we have seen in almost four decades.
