Greek vote today - Post results you find

[General of Darkness]

Depending on what happens this could mean the end of the Euro Zone.

it's 3 PM on the US East Coast. it's got to be 7 PM or later in Greece.

one thing i notice about Greece though - people tend to schedule activities for later in the day. maybe polls are open till midnight or something.

i wouldn't be surprised to see the Gold Silver ratio open up some more. for example, back to 57+.

no matter what happens in Greece, it seems that volatility is sort of the New Normal, and that creates buying opportunities.

Center-right New Democracy party edging left-wing Syriza in Greek exit pollshttp://www.cnn.com/2012/06/17/world/europe/greece-election/index.html?hpt=hp_t2

[Horn]

Athens (CNN) -- Greece's center-right, pro-bailout New Democracy party led early returns and exit polls after parliamentary elections Sunday, but not by a margin that would allow it to form a government on its own.



So in other words, nothing has changed.

It will be interesting to see how metals react when they open today...

[Gaillo]

Interesting.

All of the financial news is referring to the "pro-bailout party" being slightly in the lead. I doubt VERY seriously that is the actual name of their party! Fukin' dumbed down mainstream bullshit news. ::)

Is Diebold counting the ballots in Greece ?
If so, then the New Deomcracy Party (same as the old democracy party) should win.

His party would honour commitments to the EU.
It was a victory for all Europe.
A call for all political parties that share objectives to form government.
Sacrifices of Greek people will be reflected.
Determined to do what it takes and do it fast.
It's in Greek so allow me to interpret.

My party will eagerly open our cock holsters to recieve all living banksters at anytime,day or night.
It was a victory for Rothschild and his flunkies.
An order for all other parties to get on their knees, open their cock holsters and welcome the banksters also.
Huh.
Determined to open their cock holsters and welcome the banksters and do it fast.

i think that means, they go deeper in debt, and they maintain the illusion that they will be paying everybody's pension for a few more months ... or weeks ... or days ...

The Independent Greeks were running fourth at 7.5% and 20 seats, while the nationalist, far-right Golden Dawn -- which called illegal immigration the country's biggest issue -- appeared headed for a fifth-place finish at 7% and 18. The Communists brought up the rear at 4.5% and 12 seats, according to Interior Ministry figures.

Europe

(http://www.aljazeera.com/news/europe/)The pro-bailout New Democracy party has come out on top in Greece’s parliamentary elections, having gained 29.6 per cent of the votes. With nearly all the votes counted, the anti-austerity leftist Syriza party is trailing on 26.9 per cent.
The results have kept fears of Greece’s imminent exit from the eurozone at bay for the time being. “The Greek people today voted for Greece to remain on its European path and in the eurozone,” New Democracy leader Antonis Samaras said after his party had won, AP reports. He added that voters had chosen “policies that will bring jobs, growth, justice and security.”

Greek Elections Fuel Fears Of 'Social Explosion'



ATHENS, June 18 (Reuters) - Pro-bailout party New Democracy may have come first in Sunday's Greek election but the radical left anti-austerity SYRIZA bloc was celebrating like the real winner well into the warm Athens night.

The election exposed a struggling nation deeply divided over whether to implement a harsh austerity package, the price for receiving a total of 240 billion euros in bailout money from the European Union and IMF to save its near-bankrupt economy.

"My biggest fear is of a social explosion," said a senior adviser to the country's likely next prime minister, New Democracy leader Antonis Samaras.

"If there is no change in the policy mix, we're going to have a social explosion even if you bring Jesus Christ to govern this country."

According to official figures with 99.9 percent of the votes counted, Samaras's conservative New Democracy party won just 29.7 percent of the vote, only 2.7 percentage points more than SYRIZA, which almost doubled its support from the previous election held on May 6.

When the votes for Greece's other anti-bailout parties, ranging from the neo-Nazi Golden Dawn to the Marxist-Leninist KKE, are added to SYRIZA's tally, up to 52 percent of Greeks cast ballots against the terms of the international deal.

New Democracy supporters had initially slumped despairing in their seats at the party's plush new headquarters as exit polls showed less than half a percentage point separating them from SYRIZA, only to cheer up as official results showing a better performance trickled in.

Even then, celebrations were muted. "What is there for us to celebrate ?" a member of Samaras's inner circle said. "Our country is in such a deep crisis."

The streets of central Athens are scarred with repeated waves of protests, some hospitals are running short of vital medicines, thousands of businesses have closed, beggars and rough sleepers are multiplying and suicides are rising...

I'm pretty sure Jesus could handle it. You know, that whole omnipotence thing. But a social explosion might be part of His solution.
