Greece Votes
The people of Greece are voting in a snap general election that is likely to see the governing Conservatives lose their grip on power.
Opinion polls put the opposition Socialists led by George Papandreou ahead of Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis’ New Democracy party.
Mr Karamanlis was only half way into his four-year term when he called the election in early September.
He said he wanted a new mandate to tackle Greece’s economic problems.
However, the government has been hit by a series of corruption scandals and Mr Karamanlis’ opponents say he has failed to fulfil promises to clean up public office and to modernise the country
