Greece’s radical former prime minister Alexis Tsipras returned to office on Sunday night after his far-left Syriza party won a clear victory in Greece’s general election.  Despite a tepid campaign that saw Mr Tsipras’s personal popularity fall sharply, preliminary results showed the 41-year-old’s far-left Syriza party had won sufficient seats to form a coalition government in the coming days.
After a tight race, Syriza ran out comfortable winners, with initial projections showing them falling only five or six seats short of the 151 seats needed to govern. Greece's centre-right Independent Greeks confirmed they would again team up with Mr Tsipras, continuing their eight month coalition which is on course for a total of 155 seats. Terence Quick, a spokesman for the nationalist party (Anel) told The Telegraph that his party would form a coalition with Mr Tsipras. "Tsipras will be the PM and we will be the guarantee of stability," he said on the sidelines of a victory rally in Klafomonos Square in Athens.
THE ONLY HOPE  FOR GREECE IS TO LEAVE THE eu AND SCRAP THE EURO !!!!...
Once again I have to look at the Syrzia and ask 'What the hell was the point of this?' They were the ones that called for this election. My head is still trying to wrap itself around their ridiculous referendum. "We won't accept this deal. Vote no!" (all the while hinting that it would mean leaving the EU) ... "Okay, you voted no. We've turned downed that deal and accepted one that was much worse" (all because their floundering and referendum made the situation worse)
Its like they can't act with out approval from else where.
