Showing Original Post only (View all)Have you guys seen the Greek Far-Right 'Golden Dawn' Party logo?! [View all]

Greek election polls are trickling in and one disturbing result is this: The Neo-Nazi 'Golden Dawn' party, whose logo is practically a swastika is likely going to get enough votes to win a few seats in parliament. Nothing is quite confirmed yet, but that's what exit polls show now.
They'll be tiny, but it's still a shock.
And furthermore, the relationship between depression, unemployment, and Nazis repeats again, as this famous chart from SocGen's Dylan Grice confirms.

UPDATE: It's official. The Neo-Nazi party will take about 22 seats.

So Greece is now being run by Nazi's and Communists who, if I remember correctly, are arch-enemies. This should be interesting.

As I understand it, in Greek parliament, the parties that get the most seats get some bonus seats.
