Trend toward ‘exit’ from the electorate, strong jolt to two-party system and strengthening of the Left
The dynamics of the new period for the political scene in Greece following the coming of the IMF are manifested in three directions (in order of importance): First, by the great surge in voters’ intentions to abstain and exit the electorate. Second, by the significant weakening of the two major governing parties, not only at the level of their leadership, but also in terms of their support within society. Third, by the increase in electoral support for the Left. At the same time, society’s preference for single-party governments has declined markedly.
