(ANSAmed) - ATHENS - The latest in the ubiquitous weekend opinion polls envisions a nine-party Parliament but without any party achieving a large enough majority to form a one-party government, as Athens News Agency reports today.Crisis: Greece, poll foresees nine-party Parliament
New Democracy favoured by 28% of preference
According to results of a poll published on Sunday by the Athens daily "Kathimerini", New Democracy (ND) garnered 28% of respondents' preference, with the newly established Democratic Left party favoured by 16% of respondents. The Radical Left Coalition (SYRIZA) polled 12%, followed by the Communist Party (KKE) and former ruling PASOK with 11%. The Popular Orthodox Rally (LAOS) and the Ecologists-Greens collected 4% each.
Interestingly enough, the latest party (Independent Greeks) to be established, just last week, received 4% as well. Moreover, the ultra-rightwing Chryssi Avghi was given 3.5%, a figure which if reproduced at the ballot box would mean its Parliament representation. The abstention rate was recorded at a high 27.5%. Finally, 87% of respondents said they were disappointed with the interim Papademos government; 52% of respondents disagreed with the new Memorandum. The opinion poll was conducted by the firm Public Issue.(
