Elections Day

Elections Day here in Greece,
And of course all tv and radio shows are concetrating on the mayor elections only. Or not . Lets do a small walkaround in some of the largest TV channels of Greece and see what is going on.
Alter Channel : Mr Pavlopoulos and some of his respected collegues are trying to analyse the exit polls and how the votes of ordinary people for their own city reflects their opinion of the big political parties of the contry.
ANT1 channel : Among with the ordinary exit polls, they order from a distinguished company that do poll surveys to do an all Greece survey of what people would vote if today was elections for prime minister. The talk in the TV studio for about an hour and more was for this survey and not for what I think is more interesting : who will be the manager of a city like Athens or Thessalonikh
All the other channels including the state ones where doing the same thing. Analysing for hours the exeit polls results waiting for the real results from the election "boxes"
Only one channel made the difference : STAR channel
With much more humor and fun they made live connections with important election places like coffe houses and bars , and tried to give a happier side of view of the elections. GO STAR, GO...!!!!

Stay safe and Keep close the ones you love
