Read the entire analysis of Thomas Gerakis:
“Among the main causes that make it difficult to recover the opposition parties stand out:
Unlike what is happening in other European countries, the ND government And in general, the center -right faction exhibits unique durability. ND It has been preceded by the last nine years and has dominated both the electoral clashes and in all timeless polls. Even in the difficult four years for each government and despite the deterioration, it is noticeably preceded by all others. Its penetration in the center limits the vital space of the rest of the political forces.
The opposition, both left and right of the ND, is highly wide. The adventurous divisions, especially in the area of the left, undermined any prospect of recovery and led to smaller individual sizes. The searches of composition and collaboration are in the void, while intra -party disputes and introversion make the landscape even more dystopian.
The importance of persons in politics proves to be important in citizens’ choices. The parties that ruled the country had a prerequisite for a leader with strong characteristics of government and suitability for prime minister. The opposition has not highlighted a powerful and charismatic leader who can move more broadly and threaten Kyriakos Mitsotakis’ sovereignty. Also, our recent political history makes it difficult for those who wish to appear as saviors that will change them all with a magic wand.
The programmatic poverty of the opposition parties is evident. Their political discourse is either sterile opposition, obsessively monotheistic, or noticeably contradictory, and in many cases general populist, which impedes their credibility. The request “Mitsotakis to leave” is not alone if it is not accompanied by an alternative government proposal, coherent, applicable and overall better than today’s government.
Finally, international developments and the new unstable global environment with all the risks it involves increases the demand of stability and favors the political forces that secure it, much more than the unspecified still government alternatives.
The reasons for the non -recovery of the opposition are clearly not exhausted in the above reasons and the framework of this article does not allow each party to be mentioned separately. However, it is found that the opposition parties that record increased rates are supported not as a reliable government alternative, but as a more dynamic and angry opposition. “
