Greek party opposed to austerity wins historic election

ATHENS: Greek anti-austerity party Syriza on Sunday won a historic election promising to alter the course of austerity in Europe, but with 80 percent of votes counted it was short of an outright majority.

There are two parties with which Syriza can find enough common ground to form a coalition with: the pro-European To Potami (The River) and the nationalist Independent Greeks.
