Say hello to Alexis Tsipras, president of the Greek Synaspismos political party and head of Coalition of the Radical Left (SYRIZA) parliamentary group.
Who are Syriza? Here is a list of the parties that belong to the group along with a quick summary of their political positions. The list comes from Wikipedia (so it must be true):
Active Citizens (??e???? ????te?): Democratic Socialism, Patriotism
Anticapitalist Political Group (???): Communism, Trotskyism
Communist Organization of Greece (KOE): Maoism, Communism
Democratic Social Movement (DIKKI): Nationalist socialism, Euroscepticism
Ecosocialists of Greece: Eco-socialism, Left Ecology
Internationalist Workers' Left (DEA): Revolutionary socialism, Communism, Trotskyism
Movement for the United in Action Left (KEDA): Communism
Radical Left Group Roza
Radicals (????sp?ste?): Democratic Socialism, Patriotism
Red (???????): Communism, Trotskyism
Renewing Communist Ecological Left (AKOA): Democratic socialism, Eurocommunism, Green
Synaspismos (SYN): Democratic socialism, Eco-socialism, Eurocommunism, Ecologism, Feminism
Unitary Movement: Democratic socialism, Social democracy
Yesterday, the Greek President asked Tsipras to form a government. That alone should tell you something about the nature of the political crisis now facing Greece.
I imagine that asking Tsipras to form a government would be something similar to asking George Galloway to Buckingham palance and giving him the keys to Number 10.
What would it be like, I wonder, to live under a Respect administration headed by Gorgeous George and his mates? I never had to think about it before. It was just too absurd. Now, that terrible vista can no longer be ruled out. If spineless Euro-capitulationists brought Greece to utter ruin, their cousins in Britain can do the same.
