This result was predictable. I am just wondering how they will keep their unrealistic promises. Meanwhile the Greeks can sit back and enjoy the Frappes again and wait for the next generation to pay the bill.

Change in Greece as Socialist Papandreou(160 seats) replaces Conservative Karamanlis(91 seats).

In UK next,Conservative David Cameron to replace Labour's Gordon Brown. Labour popularity going below 41 percent(413 seats) In UK.

Worldwide there is now change of leaders and ruling parties everywhere. People like to promote shift in 2 party rule systems.

When have monarchs stood for elections?

Nobody votes for leaders of the ruling political parties. The way they are elected is pretty similar to the monarchy type of political system. In Greece, there are only 3 families who are elected as Prime Ministers for the last 50+ years. Papandreou, Karamanlis and Mitsotakis.
