Letter From the UK (About Greece)

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.
