Daniel Hannan, Conservative MEP
No one wanted this outcome. Greece has repeated itself, only more
emphatically, declining to give any party a majority. If no coalition is
possible, what then? A third election? A fourth? Or will ND struggle on with
a minority administration, unable to make any of the promised budgetary
reductions?
Greece is in denial. It rejects austerity, but insists on keeping the euro.
All the main parties duly parroted what the voters wanted to hear, making
for a fantasy election, a make-believe election, a
fingers-in-my-ears-I-can't-hear-you election.
The only list which was honest
about the necessary cuts – a coalition of three liberal parties – failed to
gain a single seat.
