Greece 2012

[I left.]

That image does show Northern Italy as a low evasion zone.

Of course, whoever counted? Whoever defined evasion? Heck, whoever claimed Germany was a low tax evasion country?

If you look at the bottom,it shows how the amount of money evaded in the North is larger than that of the rest of Italy combined...

That's a rather dishonest way of comparing, you know.

The text at the bottom seems to claim something completely different than the map does.

[Senator MaxQue]

Well, the south evades more, but the South is way poorer than the North.

It would be if I were trying to prove that the evasion in the South is lower.

All I am trying to say is that the North is no paradise.

The South is persecuted once again.

Phil, what are your thoughts on Giuseppe Garibaldi?

Phil, what are your thoughts on Giuseppe Garibaldi?

Love him, of course. I'm proud of my southern roots and don't like when others beat up on the South but I obviously support Italian nationalism.

Same here. I have ancestors from the Two Sicilies and ancestors from Milan and I'm proud of my roots with both sets, for some similar and some different reasons.

Four new polls out today. Two of them show SYRIZA ahead and the other two ND. PASOK is on the rise too, the smaller parties fade. This is going to be a polarizing election.

Greece increasingly reminds me of that guy in that Scary Movie clip:

Good. This, actually, might give Greece a government.

[argentarius]

How are LAOS doing?

[Californian Tony]

Nazis

Goddamnit, another nazi party ? *__*

[Old Europe]

According to Wikipedia, Dimiourgia Xana ("Recreate Greece") is a pro-European centre-right party.

[Landslide Lyndon]

What is dimiourga xana ?

A Neo-liberal party. It was founded recently by a businessman. You won't like it a bit.

How are LAOS doing?

Terribly.

[TheDeadFlagBlues]

Do you think that the neo-liberals will coalesce behind one party? DISY and DRASI haven't been registering support in the last few polls while Recreate Greece is performing slightly better than their electoral support, which was a clear over-performance considering they were founded a few months ago.

Conservatives are already coalescing behind ND to stop SYRIZA. DISY's president Dora Bakoyianni is close to a deal with Samaras and DRASI will probably abstain from this election.
LAOS, ANEL and XA have also seen their numbers come down sharply as their voters are simply terrified after what they have seen and heard till now by the members of SYRIZA.

PASOK is also registering a slight uptick, probably old voters who stayed out on May 6 or voted for SYRIZA, DIMAR and KKE.

[Peter the Lefty]

Let's hope for a SYRIZA-ANEL-DIMAR coalition.  SYRIZA-DIMAR seems unlikely at this point, but either way, it be the perfect middle finger to Merkel (let's hope Hollande sides with Greece if this government is the case.)

Yes for the Greeks to hang themselves is the best way to spite Merkel.

[Χahar]

I'm sure ANEL support is also going to SYRIZA, given their closeness to the bonus.

^^^^^

Really, voting out of 'spite' is about the worst thing that Greeks can do at this point.

I don't want to intervene in this debate... but I'll hang my colours to the mast with this. As much as telling Merkie to go f- herself would be fun, the results would be terrible for Greece and for Europe as a whole.

If I were Greek, I'd probably hold my nose and vote ND at this point. They're a terrible party, but I'm not one to join on Tsipras' bandwagon. That guy is a tool and/or moron.
