Although the surprise election of a socialist government in Spain dominated international news recently, a pro-U.S. conservative party had deposed the ruling Socialists in Greece only days before. By a margin of 47% to 42% of the vote, the New Democracy (conservative) Party unseated the Pasok (socialist) Party that had ruled Greece for 19 of the last 22 years.
