Well later than I hoped I'm going to blog a bit about the Greek Cypriot election results.
To my utter surprise Papadapolous came third. Just goes to show, don't trust opinion polls, and if they're tight don't trust them especially.
As such its Kasoulides, the conservative, versus Christofias, the communist. If Christofias is elected President it will be Cyprus' first communist President. I think the voters of the centre could split either way personally. It'll be an interesting second round, but I think Kasoulides has the edge, then again I also thought Papadapolous was going to win it, so what do I know.
As a centre-left type I'm not actually sure who I'd prefer. On the lighter side, for those wanting a solution to the Cyprus situation both Christofias and Kasoulides are considered to be more willing to compromise with the Turkish North than the, ironically centrist, Papadapolous.
The second round is Sunday.
