Much is at stake in Greece’s upcoming election. Indeed, the outcome could determine whether the country remains in the eurozone, with far-reaching implications for the rest of the monetary union.

Syriza, a radical left-wing party whose popularity has skyrocketed amid the country’s economic crisis, is the favourite to win, though it is unlikely to gain enough parliamentary seats in Sunday’s vote to govern alone. Instead, it will probably lead a coalition government, though with which other parties remains unclear.
