New conditions in the political scene are created by the prospects of a post-memorandum Greece rearing in the horizon.

The ever growing public belief that the same political personnel who led the country to destruction cannot be the same to manage the fate of the land in this new dawning age,  dictates the need for deep changes within the political system and the way of bringing those who represent the Greek society to the central political stage, but also closer to the “everyday” local government which more directly affects peoples’ daily lives.

The big momentum acquired by the “Potami” party by Stavros Theodorakis upon its appearance within the political scene, as well as the feeling that the formation claiming the Piraeus municipality, which is not connected to any party (led by ex Olympiacos VP Yannis Moralis), is indicative of the thirst of society to bring to the forefront all those who are not burdened by the sins of the past.

As reflected in almost all latest gallups, Greece’s near-bankruptcy was followed by the simultaneous bankruptcy of the traditional model of classical politics which, for decades, was highlighted through a grid of customer-relationship give and takes, either through the children of the political powerholders or as heirs of family traditions who -gifted with no apparent abilities or accolades- were party to an assured political career.

The feeling of suffocation caused by the crisis in the most dynamic sections of Greek society, however, and especially amongst the young who is currently being stricken by unemployment, day-by-day enlarges the distate towards traditional politicians who insist they want to remain at the forefront, keeping politics as a closed, elitist-only profession. They might be playing switcheroo with positions within the grid itself, but the way of election or succession to them is almost identical.
