Mimis Androulakis, PASOK MP who said he'd oppose measures, votes "yes" #Greece

I will if i'll see him, but he hasn't made the cameras for some time now. There are photos of cops and fascists trying to kick him or hit him with a stick after he became famous. Don't know someone that saw him recently.

A couple of yes that i didn't expect so far, at least they themselves said that they will vote present or no.

Yep.

So more can kicking !????

how close?

From Greek politicians probably yes, the real game is between the troika and their disagreements anyway and we still haven't seen the troika report. Far from over.

Lost the count, lol, i will post the final results as soon as i get the complete number.

It passed with 151 'yes' votes.

153

I just heard 153.

Vazelinh exoyne ta farmakeia?

Pasok just kicked out of the party 6 MP's that voted no or present, New democracy also one.

GREEK AUSTERITY VOTE APPROVED IN PARLIAMENT [link to read.bi]

WIth 7 MP's (6 PASOK and 1 New Democracy) getting ejected, how does this effect the voting for Sunday and what is the process like to replace them?

Thank you.

The result is not good for the govt, 153 is very bad and fragile number and the coalition govt just lost 7 MP's.

UPDATE: Dow Jones reports that the vote has passed:


#GREECE VOTE COUNT: Greek Parliament Passes Austerity Measures With 151 Yes Votes
— DJ FX Trader (@djfxtrader) November 7, 2012
Six members of PASOK, a junior member of the coalition government, have been expelled from the party by Evangelos Venizelos for defecting and voting against the measures.

Highlighting how the mighty have fallen, Kathimerini deputy editor Nick Malkoutzis tweeted:


#PASOK down to 27 MPs in Parliament. It had 160 three years ago. #Greece

Greek Austerity Vote Passes [link to www.zerohedge.com] …

They can't replace them, only with elections, MP's are independent now. As i said 153 out of 300 is very marginal number for something so important, 180 is constitutional approved, this govt coalition has no legitimacy and their work will get even harder now with less MP's.

Final results, passed

Yes: 153
No: 128
Present: 18
Absent: 1

The worst thing: Most of them are also still alive.

THEY WILL TRY TO FIND A WAY! THEY HAVE TO BE STOPED!!!

True, nothing seems to stop them. Police was blocking the parliament employees all this time who wanted to occupy the parliament channel. Nothing stops them for real, countless of undemocratic and unconstitutional moves today.

How do elections get called again? Like, with such a slim margin of passing for this huge measure, is there any chance we can see new elections soon? And if not, when is the next time we will see elections in Greece?
