In this dissertation, we study the political parties of Greece based on the political ideology, from 1974 until the last elections in 2015 (Inglehart & Norris, 2016). Also, during the years of recession is observed rise of populism and that’s affects the people's vote and the country's economic aggregates. It will also examine the impact of rising unemployment rates due to the global economic crisis of 2007-2009 on the rise of populism and two completely different political parties (SYRIZA, GOLDEN GAWN). Finally, by regressing we will see the results of the economic magnitudes at regional level.
