Pro-bailout Greek parties to form joint government
The pro-bailout conservative New Democracy party defeated the anti-bailout leftist Syriza party in Greece's crucial election. However, the formation of a coalition with another party to win more than 150 of the 300 seats required to form a coalition government will not be easy, as the leader of the third-place PASOK, Evangelos Venizelos, wants the inclusion of both Syriza and the Democratic Left.
