Notes
1. For other recent contributions to this series of elections in context, see Arter (Citation2007) on Finland, Aylott and Bolin (Citation2007) on Sweden, van Holsteyn (Citation2007) on the Netherlands, O'Malley (Citation2007) on Ireland, and Sauger (Citation2007) on France.
2. An indicative example of this tactic was the decision not to issue a controversial history textbook that had been intended for use in the final stages of primary school, as it was accused of emanating a less favourable and seriously distorted picture of Greek history. The reaction to its content was believed likely to drive voters to LAOS, thereby increasing its likelihood of entering the parliament.
