We don’t know if it’s the fault of the place, the Delfoi where the most famous Order of antiquity existed, but Evangelos Venizelos knows what the electoral College will do
No, we’re not kidding. Maybe we’re satirising a bit – lest we get a twist – but the former chairman of PASOK and former vice-chairman of the NW-PASOKappeared to know what will happen in the next elections.
Speaking at the Forum in Delphi,Evangelos Venizelos estimated that “the electorate in post-election always makes the same choice twice – there is no third mandate”. Okay, let’s say that Andreas Papandreou got a third mandate after losing the second, and by a wide margin, regardless of whether he had taken care to saw off Konstantinos Mitsotakis’ self-reliance.
Let’s look at the facts. What exactly is the electoral college; that is, how does the Greek citizen vote? He sits there and thinks “oh, I voted for him twice, I’m not voting for him a third time” why doesn’t that happen in post-opposition?
So, citizens arrive at the ballot box and vote for something other than what they voted for in two or three accurately – election battles and decide to give their vote to someone else regardless of what he stands for and why he is qualified?
Will the citizen-voters choose one of the opposition parties, so as not to give a third mandate and what’s to be done is to be done? Will they choose those who want Mitsotakis to “go away and we’ll see”? Because this “we’ll see” and the experiments brought Alexis Tsipras in 2015, who today appears ready to reclaim the popular vote.
So the citizens will not sit back and see if they want stability and security, perspective and growth and will choose fudge, the unknown with a boat of… hope (again) for the voyage to Ithaca – where the crew and those who were in those boats never got anywhere near it – because of… history.
Also, they will seek solutions in multi-party partnerships such as the one PASOK is pursuing with Syriza-if they are in Parliament-, Alexis Tsipras and a new party, even Zoe Konstantopoulou who will be called upon to make decisions in the midst of crises and lead the country to turn the page.
Unfortunately, citizens have shown in the last few years that they are not carried away by the Sirens of populism and in any case, traditions are meant to be broken and the rule always has exceptions. Especially in cases where they have the ability to compare and judge.
