DESCRIPTION: Greece

Greece's ruling conservatives bucked the anti-government trend seen elsewhere in the union, winning 43% of the vote. This put them nine points ahead of their socialist rivals. Both parties are staunchly in favour of a more federal European Union. Voter turnout was put by the Greek interior ministry at 63%, down on the 1999 election, but still well above the EU average.
