“…In October 2009, ND suffered its worse defeat in parliamentary elections since 1974, while for the first couple of months in 2010 the opinion polls were still giving a considerable lead for PASOK (Gemenis 2012, 109). Perhaps considering that, in times of economic downturns, retrospective evaluations about the economy are expected to hurt the incumbent parties more than the challengers (Nezi 2012), Samaras might have considered that staying firmly in the opposition might have been a sensible thing to do. Nevertheless, since ND is an office-seeking party within the aforementioned cartel, Samaras must have realized that his party would eventually come to deal with similar policy dilemmas as an incumbent.…”

“…Apart from the cabinet portfolios received by ND, Samaras' major payoff was the promise that the duration of the coalition government would not be more than six months and that elections would be held thereafter. Moreover, in order to minimize the electoral cost associated with incumbency during times of crisis (Nezi 2012), he asked from those ND MPs holding cabinet portfolios to resign their seats. This way ND would not be technically a member of the coalition government.…”

“…This is evidenced by the fact economics were front and centre in the recent national elections of countries adversely affected by the GFC (e.g. CostaLobo, 2013;Fraile & Lewis-Beck, 2013;Marsh & Mikhaylov, 2014;Nezi, 2012;Nezi & Katsanidou, 2014).…”

“…Examples of this are: PASOK, the Greek Socialist Party, that was all but annihilated in the May 2012 election, and, among others, Labour (UK, 2010), PSOE (Spain, 2011), CDA (Netherlands, 2010) and Venstre (Denmark, 2011) -all suffered major electoral losses and lost control of the government. Several studies indeed demonstrate that voters have punished their governments for the economic crisis and its consequences (Palmer and Whitten, 2011;Rattinger and Steinbrecher, 2011;Anderson and Hecht, 2012;Marsh and Mikhaylov, 2012;Nezi, 2012;Bartels, 2014;Fraile and Lewis-Beck, 2014;Kriesi, 2014;Dassonneville and Lewis-Beck, 2014). These findings fit into the larger framework of so-called economic voting.…”

“…Economic crises threaten the well-being of people, and they become better informed about the state of the economy (Krosnick 1990;Krosnick and Kinder 1990;Miller and Krosnick 2000), which increases the salience of the economy for voters in general (Singer 2011;Singer 2013;Traber et al 2018), and specifically for their voting decision (Gomez and Wilson 2006;Anderson 2007). Indeed, recent research confirms that economic voting took place during the recent economic crisis (Palmer and Whitten 2011;Rattinger and Steinbrecher 2011;Anderson and Hecht 2012;Bellucci et al 2012;Marsh and Mikhaylov 2012;Nezi 2012;Bartels 2014;Fraile and Lewis-Beck 2014;Kriesi 2014;Dassonneville and Lewis-Beck 2014).…”
