  • [01] Potami will not support change in electoral law, says party leader Theodorakis

    The leader of Potami, Stavros Theodorakis, said on Monday his party will not support the government's proposal for a change in the electoral system, arguing it will lead to political instability.

    "Some SYRIZA-ANEL members accuse us of being stable in our positions. In reality they're accusing us of having principles, which is unknown to them," he told the party's parliamentary group, adding that this is not the first time the issue of switching to proportional representation has been raised by a party.

    "Their slogan is 'first time Left-first time proportional representation'. Somebody must inform them that the same was done by [former PASOK minister Akis] Tsohatzopoulos in 1989," he said. "I'll make a prediction. If we switch to proportional representation, as we did with the Tsohatzopoulos law in 1989, after a while we'll end up with a super-enhanced [representation], because of the political instability that will follow."

    He also proposed the creation of a new political reformist body, with an open leader election, who will emerge through elections throughout Greece, and in which at least 200,000 people will have to participate.
