Megaro Maximos has long recognized the importance of the first election, and in his strategy he constantly relies on the result of the first Sunday, which will determine the final election, which will probably take place on the second. Kyriakos Mitsotakis’ statement in October last year that “the first vote has the weight of the last vote and will be the basis for the choice for tomorrow” shows how the government sees the first elections, for which there is already a specific strategic plan. .

“Be careful what you vote for”

The last dilemma, posed by Maximos through the mouth of the prime minister himself (“Mitsotakis or Tsipras”), has no absolute effect on the first ballots, which most likely will not lead to a direct prime minister, but will create data for the second. In this context, the New Democracy focuses on a strategy that will slow down free voting and will be based on the “be careful what you vote for” narrative, since free voting can have an outcome that will either give some kind of “monstrosity”, as was said earlier , the prime minister, that is, the government with a minister, for example, Janis Varoufakis, or will give such a confused result that it will not change in the second round of voting. Thus, the message that the government and personally Kyriakos Mitsotakis will send is: “Don’t play with punitive voting” because in the end the country will be punished.

Front against SYRIZA

Comparison of the deeds of the two main parties will be one of the arguments that Piraeus will actively activate.

It has already become clear that in order to achieve the desired result, N.D. in the first elections, which means a percentage of 32%-34%, another key “weapon” is activated: the front against SYRIZA. All measurements still show that, despite the mistakes of the authorities, which are many and they have caused damage, a very strong negative predisposition to the official opposition still remains in society. “Yes, the authorities made mistakes, but not in order for SYRIZA to return to power,” the opinion in general prevails in society, an experienced sociologist tells K, adding that the final comparison of the two parties turns out to be favorable. N.D.

measurements

Comparison of the actions of the two sides will be another argument that will greatly activate the ND. before the first election. It is not only the slogan “we said, we did”, which will be ubiquitous anyway, but also the comparison of the two governments.

In all the measurements that reach Maximos, it is shown that the citizens rate the government better than the official opposition in almost all areas that the government cannot leave unattended. After all, Mr. Mitsotakis included in his speeches the phrase “tested crew”, which, according to him, is necessary in our time. With all the “weapons” listed above, the New Democracy will achieve, in conditions of severe polarization and fanaticism, the maximum possible result, which will give it the right to gain self-confidence in the second election.
