His aim will be to build his party's credibility with those Greeks who doubt that such a program could be implemented"."<br /><br />Not really. Tsipras is targeting those who have had enough. Those who in newspapers websites, when read the same doubts, answer: "I have nothing to lose". Those who when threatened with "bank run", reply "Ok, Samaras, i have 3 euros left in my bank account, go on and take them". Those who say "I am broke, i 've nothing to lose from Tsipras, that Samaras hasn't already taken from me".<br /><br />Tsipras with a 30% of the vote, will have secured the 1st place in the elections. That's all it takes. Populism works well, when a part of the audience is desperate and sees no light with the current policy. Tsipras is selling the story of a new hope.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
