Quite how anyone can see Hitler as any sort role model and spritual leader for his party in the light of the History is beyond me, as is how anyone could give credibility to that party - however in my view with Hitler proclaimed as some sort of Spritual leader for the party by its founder that in my book makes it a Nazi or Neo Nazi party , for which one should be extremly cautious in giving support.
You're pissed!
Try again tomorrow.
Is that cheap insult the best you can manage - the small tin of Carslberg I consumed after writing the above is my only Alcoholic beverage since a half-glass o red-wine on Wednesday.
I have already provided elsewhere references to the Nazi sympathis of the GD founder, Michaloliakos
The prospect is the few in Greece have looked beyond the facade of GD- a supposedly caring facded for the Greek people - very similar in intent to to the techniques that seduced so many Germans (but never a majority) to vote for the Nazi party up to 1933, but then such parties only sem to gain support in times of exterme economic stress. Interstetingly at the last electiion I understand GD support fell, when 93% of Greeks seemingly did not support GD. Are they wrong?
I'd rather go with the majority.
