Elections: The Battle for 600,000 Doubters

The battle focused on the “party” undecidedwhich is approximately 11.5% and corresponds to more than 600,000 voters, will give in recent days pre-election period Mister. Kyriakos Mitsotakis And Alexis Tsipras. The Prime Minister, in order to reach the centrist swing voters, will act as a guarantor of stability and will not raise his tone. With regard to those who have not decided on more “right-wing” characteristics, the Prime Minister will highlight the achievements of the government in the areas foreign policy And protectionand also on the immigration front. For his part, Mr. Alexis Tsipras focuses mainly on centrist doubters, citing state of justice and cutting edge case wiretapping.

“undefined” business

With only a week left before the national elections, New Democracy and Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis are entering the final stage, turning their attention to the waverers and how to convince as many of them as possible to vote for New Democracy. After all, the percentage of those still moving in the gray area is especially high, with the latter Pulse poll consider it at the level of 11.5%. The government in this battle, approaching the waverers, will use the following weapons:

First, a positive story. The official opposition is acting with debate and then again put the issue of wiretapping for public comment.

For Megaron Maximos, this is “a desperate attempt to return to the toxicity of an issue that has been exhaustively discussed and set out on the path to justice.” Unlike Tsipras’ tactics, Kyriakos Mitsotakis focuses on the positive: what he has accomplished in four years and what he plans to do if he wins re-election. This choice is not only a matter of the prime minister’s political culture, but also a balanced one. Most citizens hate toxicity, especially those who identify with the Center. “These people want to hear about their future, which only N.D. does” – says “K” a source in the government..

For centrist voters who have not made their choice, Mr. Mitsotakis will stress the need for stability, and for right-wing audiences, his position on national issues.

On the other hand, a significant percentage of the undecided comes from the so-called “people’s right” and looks to the formations to the right of N.D. These citizens leave the ND far from indifferent. The position of the ruling party in relation to those “who are more sensitive to national issues” is to constantly remind in the last week which government has actually strengthened the country’s deterrent potential, materially strengthened the Armed Forces, and reduced immigration flows. resolutely and prevented the violation of the borders on Evros. “Patriotism is not measured by words, but by deeds” says government source “K”urging more right-wing citizens to evaluate the actions of the Mitsotakis government.

The next day

The second argument that the government will use in the last week before the elections to convince a large part of the waverers is a clear message for tomorrow. As noted by government sources, and as the Prime Minister also mentioned after the debate, on the one hand, we have a specific plan that talks about stability and “self-reliant ND”. and on the other hand, “akhtarma”, which speaks of progressive management. The same sources note that what Mr Tsipras proposes the next day, progressive governance, is “so vague and dangerous for the country that it has also been seen in the debate.” Maximou notes this as Mr. Tsipras’s “possible partners”, i.e. Mr. Androulakis, Koutsoumbas and Varoufakis, have such conflicting and conflicting opinions among themselves that “their possible collaboration can only be characterized as teratogenesis”.

Profile and Options

In the latest Pulse poll (for SKAI) there was a very interesting “special question” in which undecideds (their percentage is 11.5%) were asked to position themselves as to which party they feel closer to. The responses were very interesting as 11% responded to N.D., exactly the same as SYRIZA, showing how important the battle of the undecided is. At the same time, PASOK was at 6%, KKE at 4% and Hellenic Solution and MeRA25 at 3%. To a similar question on behalf of Alko (for Alfa) – “how do you define yourself politically” – 13% of those who found it difficult to answer were “right”, 9% “center-right”, 21% “center-left”, 10% “center-left” and only 4% “Left”. Interestingly, however, the largest percentage, around 31%, answered “nothing,” which shows just how fluid the “battle of the undecided” is.

Emphasis on SYRIZA in the Center with wiretapping at the peak

Amfirropi predicted that Alexandroupolis’s Alexis Tsipras would be an electoral battle of its own, adding that “there is a large percentage of citizens who will almost hit the ballot box.” That’s why victory on Election Night will depend not on news forecasts, but on you if you deliver this message that our lives can change.” In a recent Pulse poll, the undecided recorded 11.5%, while SYRIZAseeing that the gap in the polls with New Democracy has not narrowed, they are investing a lot in this particular audience.

Basic targeting

In the last stanza before the opening ballot boxes swing voters, mostly from the Center area, are the main target of the party, since it is now very difficult for those who have decided what they will vote for to change their minds. The wiretapping case resurfaced after the debate and became SYRIZA’s “vehicle” to reach out to a more moderate audience looking for a “party haven”.

Citizens who may never have been ideologically close to the left, but still attach great importance to the “rule of law”. That’s why after the telefight, the wiretapping scandal erupted. This particular issue is also a “vehicle” for further pressure on PASOK. “On the stool of the parastat of wiretapping and opening, at the same time, the possibility of cooperation with the high priest of the parastat of wiretapping, it is not possible. These two are not compatible. They do not correspond to common sense,” said Alexis Tsipras, referring to Nikos Androulakis.

“There is a large percentage of citizens who will vote almost at the ballot box,” Alexis Tsipras from Alexandroupolis calculated.

SYRIZA makes it clear that the only way to shed light on this matter is to take the power of progressive forces. Popi Tsapanidou, speaking to SKAI about the PASOK president’s reference to the duties of political figures, spoke of setting up a preliminary investigation committee if documents come to parliament from the judiciary.

younger age

The strength of SYRIZA lies in a younger age, and at the same time, the party is concerned about abstinence. The youth of Komunduru is trying to reduce the percentage of those who prefer not to go to the polls with a new stain, showing that they should not let adults decide for them. And at a younger age, there are many who either have not decided or do not know that they have the right to vote on May 21.

The mobilization of these people is the main priority of the opposition for the remaining eight days, since young people are an “unknown public” that sociologists do not reach.
