Re: Parallels in Greece coincide with Hitlers rise to power
That's the hard part, all parties claim the pocketbook will work best with them. I can safely say that everything from the left to and including the center left is excluded by principal. After that I have to think....Jim wrote:Vote your pocketbook.Chiron wrote:Who should I vote for?

Re: Parallels in Greece coincide with Hitlers rise to power
