UPDATE 2
Via WSJ:
Under Greece’s electoral law, the winning party is awarded 50 bonus seats in the country’s 300-member Parliament, a measure aimed at facilitating the stability of an elected government. But even with that bonus, Syriza doesn’t look as if it will have enough seats to form a government on its own. Polls show it might fall two to five seats short and would need to turn to another party to help govern, putting the third-place finisher in a position to become a kingmaker.
Was this outcome approved by US/EU or not? Is regime change incoming?
