The defeat of the government

By Nikos Marantzidis and George Siakas*

The latest survey conducted by PORU (fielded in 3-4 Nov, 2016) not only corroborates the general disappointment of the Greek population and the significant precedence of the ND over SYRIZA with regard to the opinion’s preference, but shows for the first time such high numbers of dissatisfaction for the government’s performance among its voters.

The significant majority of 89% declares its disappointment for the government’s performance. What is  more interesting, is that the survey’s findings show that 47% of those who voted for SYRIZA in the last parliamentary elections (Sep 2015), state that the current government doesn’t have anything to offer for the benefit of the country.
