The election results were consistent with the historical pattern after a defeat - dashed hopes, political exhaustion, a mood of resignation and retreat from active engagement, and, except for a very few, a chastened reluctance to engage in further experimentation with social change. The beneficiary of this new mood was Syriza, as the new governing party representing the status quo. The major challenge to the status quo is now likely to come from the fascist right, resorting to the basest instincts of the most politically backward sectors of the population.
