The consequence of the end of the two-party system in Greece is that the parliament that will result from the general elections of May 6 will almost certainly include ten parties, against the current five.

Polls carried out in the weeks before the vote show that at least ten parties may surpass the 3% threshold and conquer a seat in the Greek unicameral assembly, which counts 300 MPs. According to these polls, the Nea Dimocratia party (ND, centre-right) will get 22.3% of votes, good for 110 seats (thanks to bonus seats distributed to the party with the relative majority).

The socialist Pasok party is expected to get 17.8% of votes, 48 seats.

Third place is expected to go to the nationalist party Independent Greeks with 9.9%, a party that opposes the country's economic bailout plan agreed with international creditors and founded by former ND member Panos Kammenos.

The same percentage of votes (just over 9%) is expected to go to the Coalition of the Radical Left (Syriza) and the Communist Party (KKE).These three parties will obtain 26 each according to the polls.

The polls also show that the Democratic Left, Chrysi Avgi (Golden Dawn, far-right party), Laos (far-right), the Green Party and the Democratic Alliance (centre-right) are all likely to get enough votes to pass the 3% threshold, allowing them to enter in parliament.

Just 8.7% of the people who were interviewed expect to see a one-party government after the elections, while 44.2% hope to get a coalition government formed by ND and Pasok.
