It was a vote for an acceptebale solution to the Cyprus problem.

If we wanted just to suicide and accept whatever they are trying to force on us because it is the easy thing to do then we could have voted for Utopos.

but the recent vote was not a vote for tpap

Tassos party was among the parties that greatly increased its power, along with EDEK, another party that fully supports Papadopoulos policies.

Along with the fact that EDI didn't manage to win a seat it is a clear indication that people approve Papadopoulos on the Cyprus issue.

i do not deny that the AP might have played a role in the last elections but i am not that convinced that it was that significant. imo , people in general vote traditionally.

i.e. if people vote having the cyppro as their first priority , dysi should have received way less than 24% (especially considering that half of those yes-supporters came from akel). in the end dysi received more than 30%!!!!

dikos rise its just the sum of the party it cooperated with.
and according (not to dysi) but the partners diko and akel , the rise of edek is justified through the position of its ministers.

not all people vote traditionally. I think probably about 80% vote traditionally. The other 20% are the ones that can change choices and affect the results. I think Annan plan was one of the important factors for that 20%.
