Greeks elect change

Weary voters have punished the incumbent Greek Coalition Party in an election which has plunged Greece into political instability.

Voters who are tired of pro-austerity measures have voted in a new party. According to the BBC, the New Democracy Party won the election with 18.9 percent of the vote. A radical left party Syriza came in second followed by Pasok and Independent Greeks.

The two main parties in this election, the New Democracy and Pasok attracted only a third of the vote.

New Democracy leader Antonis Samaras will meet with the president to try and form a united government and keep the debt-riddled country in the euro-zone.
