As we gear up for another election Sunday in Greece, nobody seems willing to discuss the day after. The latest polls confirm that the majority of the Greek voters are benumbed by recent developments. In contrast to the highly political confrontation of January, elections this time seem to miss their most essential element; engagement. And, if anything, that's bad news for democracy in Greece.
The poll findings indicate a fragmented electorate, a majority of swing vote, especially from the left, and no clear lead for any of the two major contenders (Syriza and New Democracy).
