Conservatives set for victory in Greece

EXIT POLLS last night indicated Greece's opposition conservatives had won yesterday's general elections, ending more than 10 years of rule by the socialist party.

One poll by state television NET said the conservative New Democracy Party has won 45.5% of the vote, against 40.2% for the ruling socialist PASOK party. Another exit poll by private television network Antenna says New Democracy will score between 45.6% and 48% of the vote, with PASOK ranging between 38.8% and 41.2%.

The margin of error is 1.5%.
