Opinion polls are center stage these days as we are moving closer to the next national elections, which have to be held within the next 12 months; the prime minister insists they will take place in the spring of ’27.
What adds to the steadily increasing interest is not only that we have entered the final lap of the government’s four-year term, but the fact that new parties keep being created.
Calculations have become more complex and accurate predictions more difficult.
The new party by former prime minister Alexis Tsipras, Greek Left Alliance, which has quickly consolidated its position as the country’s second political force, is complicating the work of experts as it is an effort to unite the left beyond its original base, encompassing also part of the political center.
For its part, the other party recently established, Maria Karystianou’s Hope for Democracy, has shuffled the deck on the conservative side of the political spectrum, while also making inroads in some leftist parties too, namely Course of Freedom.
