But why is the political system so bent on achieving this abstention?

Because there is a factor, named ʽelectoral measureʼ, on the basis of which the number of seats in the parliament and their weight against the percentages of the elections will be calculated, and it is this factor that affords extra electoral boost to all parties during the elections, as we will show below (P.D. 26/2012, art. 98, par. 8, art. 100).

As you will see from our examples, the greater the abstention, the more favorable the electoral measure will be for the parties that the People think they target to oust by abstaining, and the lower the number of votes they will need to secure a seat in parliament. In fact, ideally and for every Tsipras and every Meimarakis and all the other party herders wishing to enter Parliament, it would work best if the totality of the electoral body abstained, save their own party-led but shrinking armies of voters, because under that scenario, they would achieve, as we shall show below with simple arithmetic, astronomic percentages, majority governments and whatever other political fantasy of their supremacy they have.

With increasing frequency we witness the use of phrases and associated behaviours that are blatantly inconsistent: Tsipras declares himself as ʽuncompromisedʼ as a result of his ʽcompromiseʼ (!); the one and only Mr Meimarakis denounces the third memorandum that he himself voted for as despicable and onerous (!); Mr Theodorakis of the Potami Party rages against self-interest-led politics (!) following his scandalous involvement in the media, and using the basest street language, Mr Leventis labels all those who voted ʽNOʼ as ʽwash-outsʼ and ʽfailuresʼ, turning a blind eye to their own ridicule and objective debasement and exclusion from every post they once held.

This nerve whereby the utterly compromised shows up in your face to tell you that he has resisted; the utterly discredited by his involvement in past scandals party leader to claim that he will restore the country finances that he himself and his clique embezzled and destroyed; the worst and most deeply corrupted and state-fed employee of channel magnates and bank oligarchs to claim that he will clear up corruption and restore meritocracy or work in favor of free market, at the time when he and his bosses prospered on mercantilism, cartels and nepotistic practices, is certainly not accidental.

Dear Fellow Greeks and Citizens,

Because due to technical issues beyond our control in the www.VMedia.gr it was impossible to have live broadcasts on 27 March 2015, we feel it is extremely important to communicate to you what we had prepared to air during our show regarding the flux and critically important current events, publishing for the first time our notes for our show ʽBefore the Greek Peopleʼ, as we would have presented them live.

Greetings,

The Letter Regarding Examination of the Elections’ Procedure

Please read below our first formal appeal to the pertinent authorities requesting transparency during the electoral process (as well as the risk for its adulteration) as we have described in our recent article. This letter was emailed to: info@ypes.gr & president@areiospagos.gr

TO: MINISTRY OF THE INTERIOR
2. SUPREME COURT
3. OFFICE OF THE PROSECUTOR, ATHENS

FROM CITIZEN: OLGA G. YERITSIDOU

Re: ʽTransparency during the Electoral Processʼ

I am an active Citizen who is interested in the validity of and is concerned about the possible risk for the adulteration of the electoral process because, as a voter, I have the legal right to audit and be protected against my potential damages as a result of any possible interference with the true Popular Mandate.

Given my legal right
I REQUEST
that you

However we try to view the process of these elections under a scientific and analytic lens, we will but see this con job clearly and the abolition of all democratic principles it brings. This electoral process is full of the impasses that everyone reverberates that a Democracy lacks: the choice is particularly limited, the process particularly porous and partial and its public monitoring and control simply non-existent.

During this national election campaign, that we as a People caused (as will make clear in our next series of articles and television shows), we have the chance to also cause the utter crumbling of this state of insanity that fears us at this point in time and feels that we are powerful as a People against it.

As said during his speech in Larisa on 3-1-2015, Samaras invoked his right to err, to commit errors! He claims that he has this right, because according to him, ʽhe is workingʼ. In other words, his logic goes as follows: because according to his own clouded mind he regards himself as a working person, he uses that self-defined property of his to invoke his right to make mistakes. But how exactly does he think of this error-making? He is the one who makes the errors and we (the Greek People) are the ones to pay for them. DESPITE THE FACT THAT HE HAS BEEN WARNED IN EVERY DEMOCRATICALLY ACCEPTABLE MANNER ABOUT HIS WRONGDOINGS, he insists he should be divested of all responsibility for the errors already commited and be given a free hand to continue commiting the same errors in the same manner.

In other words, what the occupationally-ignorant, blue-blooded paranoiac Samaras is asking is to be permitted to keep on burning down our livelihoods under the tunes and applause from the charred and utterly destroyed Greeks.

We have said many times over that, as a concept, trial and error is a necessary and integral part of the process of learning and of life itself, as it constitutes the basis on which we build experience and improve as persons. But why are the error and the trial that is associated with it so beneficial? Because we shoulder and live through the CONSEQUENCES of this error and it is WE who PAY FOR IT. In other words, the only value of an error is that that it instills in our conscience, by means of the consequences it brings about, the reason why such error should be avoided at all costs in the future, a healthy process that leads to our becoming better and most importantly, more experienced, persons.

So what does the spoiled brat of the Benaki dynasty claim?
