How were the two dominant parties of the post-dictatorship era demolished in January 2005 with their cumulative percentages falling below those of SYRIZA? Both parties were already tired, worn out, and in decline when they were saved in 2012 with a Pyrrhic victory. Since then, Alexis Tsipras, as long as he would reassure the middle ground, was the vehicle for their Great Punishment in the elections. Thus, eight months before the 2015 elections, this book with its specific scenario and ending began to be written. It starts from the perennial pathologies of PASOK and ND, the distorted three-party government, the deadlock of bipartisanship, the European elections as the "beginning of the end." It ends with the mistakes upon mistakes of a panicked government on the road to the ballot boxes and the worst pre-election campaign in the history of ND - while the "seven deadly sins" of a crisis-ridden country serve as a warning to Alexis Tsipras, who swept the middle ground, either to make changes or to be punished himself.
