Syriza is sticking to its pledge not to join in a government with ND. ND will have to fish in far right waters for their coalition partners, if both PASOK and Syriza hold their position.

Austershitty really hits the fan in about a month and a half. Two elections ago, Syriza polled 4%. In May it won 16%. Now it's polling 27%. The more people see of austerity, the more they vote Syriza.

So we could be back again and watching another Greek election in just a few months.
