Greek General Election Sunday 16 September 07

PASOK has hired the Symi Visitor Exhibition Centre as its Symi headquarters. The islands have a strong tradition of voting PASOK and in what looks set to be a fairly close election every island vote is being courted. Many Symiots lay the blame for the lack of a proper ferry service at the door of the governing New Democracy party and readers of the Symi Visitor newspaper will be aware that there was talk of Symi actually boycotting the election altogether at one point.

The results should be known in the early hours of Monday morning.
