Results of a latest opinion poll, unveiled on Thursday, shows a sufficient majority for incumbent New Democracy (ND) to form a new government, all ahead of a June 25 general election, which comes a little more than a month after a first ballot on May 21.

SYRIZA leader and former prime minister Alexis Tsipras on Tuesday evening said he initially considered resigning from the party’s helm in the wake of a catastrophic showing by the leftist party (20.1 percent) in the May 21 election, while adding “I didn’t have the right to desert”.

It may be that the fights in the center-left and the lack of a common step even on two or three top pre-election issues gave points to New Democracy thus contributing to its overwhelming victory, but it seems that there aqre some who continue along these lines as if they did not understand what happened eight days ago .
