Greek elections: Undecided voters and coalition governments

Undecided voters are expected to play a key role in Greece’s national elections on May 21 as their percentage remains high - above 16 percent according to the latest polls. The new polls also show that the possibility of calling new elections remains strong, as the chances of polls leading to a single-party government or the formation of a coalition government seem remote. Panos Koliastasis, an Adjunct Assistant Professor of Politics at the University of Peloponnese and the author of the book "Permanent campaigning in Greece in times of crisis: the Samaras, Tsipras and Mitsotakis premierships", joins Thanos Davelis to break down the impact undecided voters could have on the election. We also look into what the latest polls mean for any efforts to form a government - whether it’s by a single party or a coalition.
