BBC News - Greece election: Exit polls signal big Syriza win
Exit polling indicates a win for left wing Syriza. There is widespread disillusionment with the mainstream parties in Europe, which is causing this surge of support for populist parties on the left and the right. Greece being the worst hit, probably is the first to elect a non mainstream party to power.
I am not too familiar with Syriza's platform, it is possible they could make things far far worse, especially if Greece has to leave the Euro. On the other hand if they play their cards well and renegotiate the loan settlements, things might just start looking up for Greece.
