The televised debate between leaders of the main parties in the run-up to general elections on 6 May was canceled when the socialist PASOK movement and conservative New Democracy party refused to take part – which prompted the following cartoon in the Greek daily, Kathimerini.
“The debate is canceled!” - ”Super! First no bread, now no circus!”
They also have a strange tradition of political parties being supplied with paper by the Government to print ballot papers – I presume flyers – but this time there is only enough for certain parties. Funny that and the EU Commission gave $39 million to “On-MessagE” parties to fight the election !
Yet another example then of democracy (not)!
