société to stare at the legs that polls are predicting a defeat for left wing prime minister alexis tsiprase called an early election after his series of party's heavy losses in the european parliamentary elections in may opinion poll suggests it 1st will lose power to the conservative new democracy party johns roberts joins us now live from athens so john there's a look like it's gone the way expected. at the moment polls from 4 different polling companies combined just somewhere between 38. $41.00 and a half percent for new democracy so far in the lead of a suit is a which is placed it between $27.00 and. percent of the popular vote if those numbers come true once the official results become fairly consolidated which happens after about 20 percent of the vote count then new democracy has a clear majority and can rule on its own without looking for a coalition partner that would then in syria enable new democracy to enact its program so you democracy might be looking at between $155165.00 seats in parliament at the moment is the estimation it's a clear win there's no doubt about it how muc

broadly, because alexis tsipras had to perform an act of political acrobatics.on a wave of populist anti—austerity feeling promised to end all those biting austerity measures that have led to a 40% measure cut measured in pensions and salaries. he was forced into a humiliating climb—down. gris‘s credit in europe forced him to a cce pt gris‘s credit in europe forced him to accept all the things he had promised which is why he has lost a huge proportion of his original support base and he is facing the prospect of being swept from power by kyriakos mitsotakis‘s party, a huge political dynasty. his own father was prime minister and his sister was foreign minister, his nephew was the mayor of athens. it is allowing a glimmer of hope to shine once again. how keen are voters to go to the polls yet again? well, i think they are looking at the fact that alexis tsipras has remained in powerforfour years, the longest serving minister of the financial crisis in greece, which is an achievement considering he was going back on his promises. it is perhaps the end of an era wh

has overseen some of his country's most testing times in recent history but alexis tsipras has conceded defeat in greece's snap election will have the latest on developments there and reaction after the break. the problem of the financial system calls from wall street throughout the rest of the world was so big that not just one central bank could make money cheap enough could create enough artificial money by itself and so the fed did did work together with the european central bank with the bank of england with the people's bank of china leader kind of separate story with the bank of japan and so forth to create enough money to put into the financial system to keep it safe for itself and ultimately what that did is a transferred all of that money into the banks into financial assets into burgeoning stock markets like like a ton of sort of crack into an attic up and up and never took it away and that meant someone else was going to pay on the other side and the people that paid on the other side was everyone else in. greece looks set to swear in a new prime minister all monday those ex

alexis tsipras of course started out as the man to fight e.u. impose austerity and then he became the prime minister to embrace it the prime minister who was more of a center left man really than a far left rebel something that the european leaders at 1st were afraid of and it'll be really interesting to see how we will work with the new center right pro european government will he supports the efforts of the you government or will the fall back into a position where he will be highly critical also seeing that he has to make sure that the rest of his party still follows so that he can remain in a powerful position. interesting side and i was on the election that. we've seen greece move to the sensor rights and we've seen a far right party the golden door knocked out of palm and that's kind of against the run of european results. exactly on the other hand you could of course say this is a move of way of back to the mainstream of politics really in a way from radical populist parties on the other hand a number of local domestic factors really also

well of course he addressed the groups that have not brought that it's from the politics of alexis tsipras and that was in particular the middle class he is about to count a real estate tax by 30 percent something many people were angry about he will also cut the number of the taxes and really wants to bring business back and going and then of course he made some promises about cutting bringing down the bruck recy and also bringing in new jobs particularly for young people a group that's in the european elections and also this time around a lot of people voted for him the people in greece hope that he might bring the change and also has the capacities as a highly educated man who comes from a political dynasty who has the experience and potentially also the power to bring the changes the country needs and gail we're talking about a country that's really been bassett economic t.m. is the mood in athens today subdued and is it because of that i mean this attack is quote it a painful era. that is quite interesting here christine really and i'm standing here outside the parliament and when the

alexis tsipras arriving to vote, knowing his time in office is wilting.ld sweep him from power after the populist, left—wing tide had brought him in four years ago. he put on a brave face, calling it a crucial battle that we fight with optimism and determination until the last minute, so the sacrifices of the people don't get lost. but his opponent is smiling. kyriakos mitsotakis of the centre—right new democracy far ahead in the polls and pledging a new era as greece emerges from its bailouts. he's promised morejobs, privatisation and tax cuts, taking the country back to the political mainstream after its populist experiment. translation: today, greeks take the fate of the country into their hands and i am sure that tomorrow a better day will dawn for the country. with the worst recession in greece's modern history, its economy shrank by a quarter. pensions and salaries down by 40% as cuts bit deep. alexis tsipras pledged to tear up the bailout and end austerity, but was forced into a humiliating u—turn that lost him support and could now end his premier

underway in greece's snap general election which was called by the left—wing prime minister alexis tsiprased a defeat in the european elections in may. the government faces a challenge from the centre—right new democracy party. it's the country's sixth general election since the financial crisis in 2008. mark lowen gave us this update from outside a polling station in athens. backin back in 2015, alexis tsipras was swept to power here promising to end austerity and rip up greece's bailout with its european creditors. he had to go back on virtually all of those promises as he accepted a third bailout here and he accepted yet more budget cuts. so he has lost a lot of the support base that backed him in 2015. the populist wave that brought him to power. he tried to stand up to the other members of the european union, tried to stand up to the 27 and was forced back. sound familiar? perhaps others, perhaps in london, might ta ke others, perhaps in london, might take a message from alexis tsipras's political u—turn. so, if he loses today, as polls suggest he will, it would be the end of greece's

a lot of greeks tell me there is no difference between tsipras and someone like mitsotakis.nkly every kind of breakthrough that he promised, he has failed to deliver. looking at the market reaction, the markets seem to be thinking that mitsotakis is going to be the winner. you've seen a huge rally in equities and in the bond markets. i'm wondering, is this going to be a close contest or pretty much a done deal? >> if you look at the polls it is pretty much a done deal. the question is whether this is that to be a supermajority sees him in power. in terms of the market, everything has been priced in. mitsotakis has said, i want to cut taxes, to renegotiate targets, and attract foreign money. the question he may face is that the european commission is already saying the greeks are lacking and they need to speed up. that could lead to some tensions, but that remains to be seen. romaine: thank you for joining us today. coming up, democratic presidential candidate elizabeth warren is winning respect in an unlikely place. we will explain what that means. this is bloomberg. ♪ >> le
