Dirty Greek - 6 Elections of the Same Families
  Politics : 6 Elections of the Same Families
You are NOT on the DirtyGreek.Org homepage. Please CLICK HERE to go there.

I just think this is cool because it's in Greece, so I'm partial, and because it's actually kind of interesting. Apparently, the two men running for head of the Greek Government are from two families that have run against each other in 6 different elections! Apparently, this is a common occurence in Greece.
"Around 70 candidates running in this election are sons, daughters or close relatives of sitting or former MPs. Around 12% of all outgoing MPs had a politician parent.

"Political career within the family is a very strong phenomenon in Greece, where politics is exerted as a profession," political analyst Ilias Nikolakopoulos told AFP news agency.
It looks like Greece is heading towards a sort of dynasy of democracies sort of thing.
