The first Greek exit polls are out and here they are: According to the initial exit polls, in first place, with some 35.5%-39.5% of the vote is Syriza, a huge lead over the second placing New Democracy which has 23-27% of the vote - far more than polls had indicated previously - and a spot which essentially assures Tsipras' party an absolute majority in parliament and the ability to take as hardline an approach as he wishes. The other parties: Golden Dawn nationalists: 6.4-8.0% The new party, To Potami, also with : 6.4-8.0% Venizelos' socialist Pasok: 4.2%-5.2% KKE: 4.7%-5.7% Independent Greeks: 3.5%-4.5% Knima: 2.2%-3.2%: probably not enough to pass the 3.0% threshold How the parliament breakdown would look like with these numbers: SYRIZA has a 12.5 percentage point lead over New Democracy and is expected to get between 146 and 158 seats in Parliament, according to the exit polls.
