It may be that in polls 60% of respondents talk about “political change”, but when the question is clearer the facts change.
One narrative on which the parties of the opposition and their leaders are treading is that of the “political change” that the majority of citizens supposedly want. Except that this narrative is based on a somewhat vague question that is not accompanied by what the political change will be and by whom or by whom it will be made.
Since the majority appears to simultaneously opt for stabilityand security and given also that so-called “political change” does not determine the party and the person who will bring it, one element of the Interview poll is of particular interest.
Specifically, when asked “what is the main factor that will influence your vote in the next election” the responses are as follows:
– “I will vote based on program of their party that will solve at least one problem for me” 43%
– “I will vote for political change” 39%
– “I will vote for traditionally the party I belong to” 15%
That is, voting for political change is superior to voting for solving problems and having programs from the parties that will be in the next national election. And this is possibly the reason why the ND and Kyriakos Mitsotakisremain dominant in the political scene.
In essence, we are talking about the protest vote as opposed to the vote for stability and problem solving. A vote for stability that also leads to solving problems, especially those of everyday life, rather than false promises that give solutions with magic wands.
