A few facts & figures about the abstention rate in the #GreekElections coming up.
-
5. What must be looked at is the variation in abstention from one
#GreekElections to the next and absolute numbers for participation.
6. In the case of yesterday's #GreekElections there were nearly 780K citizens who chose not to vote compared to last January.

7. These 780K voters who abstained are "real" voters who participated in the previous
#GreekElections, not ppl who exist only on paper. -
8. This means that voters who participated in the Jan
#GreekElections and abstained yesterday are the 3rd largest political group in Greece. -
9. All parties that entered parliament in yesterday's
#GreekElections lost voters, except the Centrist Union and PASOK. -
10. In PASOK's case, the gain in voters is artificial in the sense that they ran as a coalition with Dimar.

11. Interesting also to note that PASOK+Dimar+Kidiso in Jan = 470K votes, whereas PASOK+Dimar yesterday = 340K.

12. The party that lost most voters compared to the Jan
#GreekElections in absolute numbers is Syriza (-325K) -
13. In relative numbers, the parties that lost most voters are Potami -41%, ANEL ,-32%, Syriza -14%, ND & KKE -11%, GD -2%
#GreekElections -
14. Very likely that what enabled smaller parties (Centrists, ANEL & Potami) to reach 3% & enter parl't is abstention.
