Eric B: "primary oppressors"

[WS:] Socialists, communists and the unions are the primary oppressors? Are you sure you are on the right listserv?

As to the missing a part - I think it is you who missed one - the radical left who were not in cahoots with the "primary oppressors" from your list. Yet their support is in single digits according to the report. So it makes sense to ask why did the brutalized Greeks did not turn to them for a relief but rather to a center right party?

I also take Marv's point that polls can be very misleading, especially in politically volatile times. But poll reliability notwithstanding, the voter sentiments tend to drift to the right rather than to the left. In fact, the left in any form has lost most of its electoral support almost everywhere, except relatively small groups of radicals.

This is alarming, no? If I were a CEO and saw my company losing market shares and its stock going south at a rate that the left is losing electoral support, I would be very very concerned. The last thing I would like to hear is that this is due to market volatility. Instead, I would like to hear what to do to reverse it.
