In fact, in a parallel question, 34.7% believe that overall the government is trying within its fiscal margins to improve incomes and living standards of citizens.<\/p>\n<p>The <b>second question in particular is of value,<\/b> as a significant, albeit minority, percentage reminds us that the result on this question in the last month before the 2023 parliamentary elections was also the electoral performance of <b>NWD <\/b>We are not looking for golden rules that always apply, but that&#8217;s what happened. In any case, there is no basis for the assessment that the measures were of zero value to society, which is a common attempt to level the playing field by the <b>opposition<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. <\/strong>The 44.7% figure, higher than both the New Democracy&#8217;s vote estimate and its electoral performance, shows that half of Greece accepts that all those defensive moves and initiatives have been made with alliances with the US, France, Israel, Cyprus, etc. that make the country safe amidst the stormy international turmoil that is rocking the globe.<\/p>\n<p>It is a response through the <b>opinion of the citizens<\/b> to all those who opposed the <b>arms programmes,<\/b> questioned the country&#8217;s international alliances, described our foreign policy as a policy that puts the country at risk or isolated it or even dubbed it as submissive. Unfortunately, they include political figures who have also served as Prime Ministers or Ministers in key positions and who are being judged for these accusations, as well as being judged for the aims of this behaviour.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. <\/strong>When asked about the new <b>documents<\/b>, 42.8% see them as an illustration of the <b>ruffle<\/b> that has existed over time, 42.2% that they show that under this Government the buffoonery has increased and 11.4% that they have added nothing new. If I understand correctly, the sum of those who think they are another buffet figure &#8211; regardless of when more buffets were made &#8211; is &#8230;85%!<\/p>\n<p>This is a response to those who, claiming a <b>uniform political virginity<\/b>, pretend hypocritically that they don&#8217;t know what exactly buffet is in Greece. Even though some of them have ruled the country for half the post-independence years.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. <\/strong>43% feel that the Prime Minister&#8217;s reflexes in lifting the immunity of MPs or resigning ministers whose names are mentioned in the dossiers were correct and direct. Is it or is it not <b>a rebuttal<\/b><\/p>\n<p>to those who have been shouting the two words that the <b>Opposition<\/b> has been using extensively in recent years (cover-up, bungling) ;But is it or is it not a response to those in the Southwest who have been leaking their displeasure that &#8220;he did not cover his MPs as much as he should have&#8221; ;<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. <\/strong>The picture of the correlations in <b>vote intention and vote estimate<\/b> belies all these claims of a Government in collapse, a Prime Minister in retreat or who can change on the fly. All of this is thrown in the bin. True if the first party has 31.2% and the second party 14.4%, that is, if there is a 16.8%, how can someone in a rhetorical frenzy talk about a government that is supposedly counting days?<\/p>\n<p>If the <b>Prime Minister<\/b> in his <b>seventh year in office<\/b> and with all the problems he has to deal with is chosen as more suitable than <b>second Tsipras<\/b> with a difference of 19% and than the President of PASOK and head of the opposition with a difference of 23.1%, how can anyone talk about a Prime Minister who is a fugitive? Jokes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6. <\/strong>PASOK up 1.2% to 14.4% in the vote estimate reiterates that its goal is to become the first party. Based on these correlations that exist and with two new parties (Tsipras, Karystianou) coming in, how can citizens be convinced of him?<\/p>\n<p>More so when only 10 percent of the people are satisfied with his<b> opposition tactics<\/b>.5% and his President is chosen as the most suitable Prime Minister by only 5.8%, which can probably be interpreted as indicators that put the brakes on him rather than indicators that give him wings to fly. But the citizens are also giving an answer. In the Victory Show only 5.6% think he can win the election.<\/p>\n<p>So a survey<b> six key refutations<\/b> and there are others one could identify. It would be useful for party staffs and other actors to take them into account, because research is not only the card of intention but also because as long as you do not take into account reality, the true view of society, the time comes when you are punished.<\/p>\n<p>*The article by Zacharias Zoupis, published at liberal.gr<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The latest OPINION POLL survey for ACTION 24 had some interesting findings.<br \/>\n However, importantly, some of them refute &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4435,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4434","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4434","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4434"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4434\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/4435"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4434"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4434"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4434"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
