One thing's for sure on Syriza, anyone still claiming they're anti-Eu(ro) are totally cuckoo (eg. "European forces" rhetoric excluding them)
-
-
Neither of those assertions are absolutely good or bad, depends on perspective. Apparently lots of people prefer Syriza/Tsipras as socialist
-
Arguably, what used to be social democrats were totally corrupted, delegitimized by pro-austerity policies. Let that be a lesson to Syriza
-
Another thing on Syriza: don't underestimate ornery intent of voters to give him a 2nd chance b/c his 1st term was derailed by the troika
-
By which I mean,
#ThisIsACoup sentiment may have partly translated to Syriza votes, despite loathed compromise (outgoing message to EU) -
If I'm right,
#ThisIsACoup Syriza voters will make their displeasure to austerity policies immediately known. The street will be more vocal. -
@asteris Not sure. Friends that voted to left to ‘punish’ Tsipras after supporting in Jan, still have a left govt… *and* a clear conscience

@asteris where did anti-MoU voters go? How do you explain the change from February till now? I'm genuinely curious as it seems illogical. -
@TJELeh good question. Mostly abstained or compromised in voting, probably. I guess we'll find out in the exhaustive breakdown. -
@asteris so suddenly Tsipras changed his demographics and voters? I really have hard time figuring Greeks rick now...
as ever. -
@TJELeh Syriza arguably won the 1st time by shifting demographics/voters anyway. Now, w PopUnion gone & 3rd memo in, more apparent. -
@asteris in January Syriza voters were anti-MoU, now they're in favour. That beats me. -
@TJELeh that's where -respectfully- you're wrong, I don't think core are in favor. But I think Syriza did win over pro-MoU voters this time. -
@asteris so they're deluded then? Voting for a party which is decidedly pro now? I may be wrong, but it really makes no sense whatsoever. -
@TJELeh the party is 'pragmatic,' if anything. They're certainly not ideologically pro-austerity, just capitulated to a brutal impetus.

@asteris To be fair Syriza was never "radical" left to start with (at least by our Greek standards).Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
