The first autumn poll shows a certain twist in the internal political picture in the context of the new reality in the country, which stems from the financial and social instability inside Greece and abroad.

The poll by Alco published in “Thema” newspaper on Sunday brings to surface the existing social despair among thr public ahead of the upcoming difficulties that will lead to a further tightening of the belt. The main opposition party, ND, is the “winner” for now, while the leading PASOK party sinks deeper and deeper as ttime goes by and although the premier did underline in his speech yesterday that elections will take place in 2013 and not earlier.

Citizens have lost faith in both parties, believing that neither of the two could “support” the country under the present circumstances. Most of them are scared of what the near future will bring, 76% of them say they cannot pay their taxes and 75% of the younger generation is ready to go and work abroad.

Obviously, past stereotypes such as the reduction of parliamentary seats are not soothing people’s wounds and do not help at all, according to what the citizens have said, with the tackling of the crisis. They are asking the PM, George Papandreou, to reduce taxation and they hold the belief that his presence at the TIF could be the starting point of an impressive swift in governmental policy only a few hours after the rupture with the Troika representatives.

Politically, one in five respondents does not trust Papandreou or his government any more, mainly because of the overall failure of the plan to exit the crisis.
