Abstract
This paper analyses the axes of political competition in the Greek general elections of 1996, 2000, 2004 and 2007. Constituency level results were examined by using correspondence analysis. The results show that the principal component of competition for general elections of 2004 and 2007 was the axis “major-minor” parties while in the previous elections of 1996 and 2000 the principal axis was the “Left-Right” scale. This result can also be explained by the main issues raised by the parties during the pre-election period of the last two general elections. Finally, the principal components derived from the analysis are used for the formation and description of clusters of similar constituencies.
