Will the prime minister of Greece form a new government? | Inside Story

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis wants to govern for another four years.
And voters appear to want him to lead as well.
But although The New Democracy Party was the clear winner in elections on Sunday with more than 40 percent of the vote, it failed to win an outright majority.
The party has promised to further lift the economy.
But voters, especially the young, say they've yet to see any benefits.
So what's next for Greek politics and is the opposition party still relevant?

George Tzogopoulos, Lecturer at Democritus University of Thrace
Despina Afentouli, Executive Director at the Institute of International Relations, Greece, and former Greece Program Manager to NATO

Good panel but time ran short so will add a few not forget it was Syriza that rewrote the election law in 2016 that governed this election, installing more or less a direct electoral system. This was its long term survival strategy to hold onto the center left but it didn't work out too well. The older system of reinforced proportional representation comes back into play June 25, giving the winning party up to 50 seats as a bonus which is designed to support the creation of a strong single party government. It's not for foreigners to judge this but we must remember Syriza started reformatting the election rules for its own purposes. On economics, your panel barely touched on how decisively the international donors (IMF, ECB, European Commission, and others) crushed Syriza back in July 2015, completely reversing all of its economic policy promises to the voters, which were of course impossible to finance without donor support. The Greek electorate has never forgotten that, even though most are satisfied Greece was able to hang on as a Eurozone member.
