Feverish preparations are underway in Greece for tomorrow's parliamentary elections. On the day of reflection in our southern neighbor vote Greeks abroad, including in Sofia. However, the elections are not expected to lead to the formation of a government. Analysts estimate that early elections are possible in just a month.

According to the latest polls, the center-right New Democracy continues to lead the way ahead of its main opponent, the left-wing SYRIZA.

There may be surprises – the social democratic PASOK to give up its expected third place at the expense of the Greek Communist Party KKE.

Due to changes in the Electoral Code in Greece, a proportional system without the bonus seats for the first party is applied, which for many years ensured stable one-party governments. A coalition after the elections at this stage seems impossible.

That is why early elections are expected very soon, which after consecutive changes in the electoral law will be held with the bonus for the first party.

And what the main political players in Greece promise the average person sounds like this.

New Democracy leader and Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis: "Better wages for all, decent healthcare, a new national health system, a more efficient state and, of course, a proud and strong homeland."

SYRIZA leader Alexis Tsipras Alexis Tsipras – Greek politician and prime minister of the country since January 2015. Tsipraswas born on July 28 promises: "We can fight the cost by reducing VAT on food, reducing fuel excise duties, strict market controls. We'll do all this. We can regulate personal loans and obligations. We can protect homes, businesses and agricultural land from public sales. We have a plan ready with all the details in it. "

The day before the vote, Greeks abroad vote. Since there are serious restrictions in legislation, we are talking about just over 20,<> people who are unlikely to tilt Greece's choice in one direction or another.
