355. Editorial Note
Greek national elections held November 3 resulted in a victory for the Center Union. The party emerged with 42 percent of the vote and 138 seats in Parliament. ERE won 39 percent and 132 seats while the EDA took 14 percent and 28 seats. Since he lacked a clear majority, Center Union leader Papandreou formed a minority government and introduced a series of reform measures. When Parliament refused to pass one of his reform bills, Papandreou resigned and asked the King to dissolve Parliament and call new elections.
