Joanna Kakissis: The conservative New Democracy (ND) party eked out a victory in Sunday’s parliamentary elections, edging out the leftist Syriza party, which is strongly opposed to the austerity measures imposed as part of the country’s bailout. The margin was less than three percentage points….New Democracy failed to win an outright parliamentary majority and must join forced with at least one party to govern…. Greek media are speculating that the conservatives might join force with their traditional rival, the Socialist PASOK party, which came in a distant third on Sunday.
