Who would you vote for in the Greek election?

Greece faces elections this Sunday that will undoubtedly have enormous repercussions for both Greece and of course the European Union.

So I ask you all to imagine you where a Greek. Who would you vote for?

The choices a varied but not one party would leave you heading from your polling station delirious with hope and belief that your future is safe in their hands. First we have the pro-bailout parties who served in the government of national unity: New Democracy and Pasok whom are center right and center left respectively.

ND "won" the May election in that they got the 50 seat bonus. They were in power between 2004-2009 and are seen to have caused many of the factors that led to Greece's current predicament. They would be considered by Europe and the markets as the safest pair of hands and would take less of the responsibility for the crisis when compared to Pasok.

Pasok went from first to third in the last election and are best known for having negotiated Greece's bailouts and governing Greece through the recent crisis since 2009. They too are considered to have caused many of the problems leading up too the crisis during their time in government inthe 90's and early Noughties. The most infamous example being the currency swap with Goldman Sach which enabled them to hide 1 billion in debt when they where being admitted into the EU.

There is a third small pro-bailout party. The Popular Orthodox Rally who would be ideologically slimier to the right wing of the UK Tories. They where decimated at the last election losing all their seats. This is seen largely as a result of having supported the National Unity Coalition.

On the anti-bailout side the obvious contender is of course Syriza. Ideologically they are near impossible to explain. They are of course very left wing. But that is where their cohesion ends. They are 14 different political parties combined with numerous smaller movements and groups. Their rise had been velocious and they look set to take over 120 seats in this election should they manage to come first. Policy wise they pledge to scrap the bailout, raise the minimum wage, extend benefits, lower some rates of VAT, and prevent wage freezes and pension cuts in the public sector. They pledge their policies will create 150,000 jobs.

If you dislike the bailout but are on the right of the political spectrum there is the Independent Greeks party. They are a ND splinter who did well in the last election by opposing the bailout and demanding German War reparations. They also want to see aggressive prosecution of the people they see as responsible for the crisis. They want a Greek re-awakening and are considered populist.

Next we have the Communists. They need little explanation (anti-bailout, nationalize everything ect) but rather interestingly haven't been doing as well as they should be. At the last election they gained a meager 5 seats. Considering the times we live in that is rather poor.

Golden Dawn are the party we all love to hate. Many would consider them Neo-Nazis due to their logo and their passion for a certain kind of memorabilia. Policies include putting land-mines on the Turkish border to stop immigration, sending immigrants home, "dealing" with gays and banning trade unions . They ran under the election slogan "So we can rid this land of filth".

Finally we have the smallish Democratic Left. They are a Pasok splinter that are opposed to the bailout. They advocate government stimulus and reverses in cutbacks.

So then, if you where a Greek, who would have your vote? Also how do you all think the elections will go? and what kind of government will form?
