Weary Greeks see little gain from third vote in less than a year

Athens

LIKE many Greeks, Christi Psarra has no illusions about what the country's third vote in less than a year will bring.

"On Sunday, we will wake up, go to the polling station and each one of us will vote for change, but nothing will really change in the end," said the 30-year-old, who works for a shipping company. "Futile. That's the only word that comes to mind when I think about the elections." As Greeks are summoned to the ballot box yet again - after a vote in January that brought former Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras to power and a referendum in July on the terms of the country's European bailout - election fatigue has set in. Voters are bracing for more economic pain no matter who's elected.
