Parliamentary elections were held in Greece on 11 May 1958.〔Nohlen, D & Stöver, P (2010) ''Elections in Europe: A data handbook'', p830 ISBN 978-3-8329-5609-7〕 The result was a second consecutive victory for Constantine Karamanlis and his National Radical Union party, which won 171 of the 300 seats in Parliament. ==Background== Karamanlis took the decision to call for early elections, after some of the most prominent members of the National Radical Union defected from the party, including George Rallis and . Although Karamanlis could have a parliamentary majority, he preferred to go for elections, in order to achieve a renewed public support. The pretext of the defection was a new electoral law that Karamanlis passed. Rallis was opposed to the law, thinking that it is going to be extremely favorable for EDA, a party believed to be linked with the then-banned Communist Party of Greece. The outcome of the results proved that Rallis' "fears" were justified. EDA became the second biggest party, outvoting a divided centre. Just after the elections Karamanlis formed a new government, taking back in his party the defectors. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Greek legislative election, 1958」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
