broadly, because alexis tsipras had to perform an act of political acrobatics. he had to make a u—turn on everything he promised that swept into power in 2015. he came to power ona into power in 2015. he came to power 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 servi

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

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 populist experiment and the political pendulum would swing back to the centre—right and new democracy, and its leader kyriakos mitsotakis has promised a new political era, a new post—bailout era with tax cuts and more job creation and to return greece more to the european political mainstream. mark lowen in athens. many working parents find it stressfuljuggling time in
