The Greens scored 2.5%, which isn't enought to win seats 93% threshold) and down on their 3.5% at the European elections. However 2 other "Green" parties (Greek Ecologists & Ecologists Greece) featured in the elections, Greek Ecologists because they are looney fringe party with semi-naked women on their posters, and Ecologists Greece because of the their alliance with the far-right LAOS. Neither of these parties are recognised as Green parties by the European Greens, but GE scored 0.3% of the vote to potentially bring down the Greens vote: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_legislative_election,_2009 Well, in case anyone is interested, PASOK won a convincing victory with 44% of the vote and 160 of the 300 seats, beating the centre right New Democracy party & incumbent Prime Minister Karamanlis.

And then there's the next round of EU balloting in the Czech republic. But I was also wondering, Ben, if you'd be doing anything on the Greek elections, which I understand are on today/tonight.
