– Popularity Of Greek Neo-Nazi Party Continues Surging (ZeroHedge, Sep 20, 2012):
There is a reason why we called the graph of youth unemployment in Europe ‘the scariest chart’ as quite simply, it is the leading indicator for what most call ‘social unrest’ – but some would call ‘uprising’. In somewhat stunning news today, not only do a majority (54%) of Greeks no longer trust any political party, but the popularity of the ultra-nationalist Golden Dawn has risen dramatically since May. According to Ekathimerini, the popularity of Golden Dawn’s leader Nikos Mihalolioakos has risen ten points since May to an incredible 22%. More than 1 in 5 Greeks now support the neo-nazi party as the general disillusionment with mainstream political parties – who are seen as lying to get votes – grows stronger. 85% believe that the new measures planned by the government to take affect them personally or another member of their family and 68% are against the terms of the EU’s bailout.

The stunning performance (absolute and relative) of the Golden Dawn party relative to the rest of Greece’s political parties is truly concerning…no on par with PASOK!!
