ATHENS (Reuters) - Greece must shame corrupt politicians, cap immigration and be tougher on Turkey, far-right leader George Karatzaferis said ahead of an October 4 election where he is seen gaining support. Karatzaferis' Popular Orthodox Alarm party (LA.O.S) has ridden a wave of discontent with corruption and economic hardships to win up to 6.4 percent of support in opinion polls, after becoming in 2007 the first far-right group to enter Greek parliament since the return to democracy in 1974. "People are angry ... we are heading to elections and no one has been punished, or at least, exposed," the former bodybuilder and journalist told Reuters in an interview. "The most constructive way would be to reveal the names. If names were revealed, the rest would be afraid of the public humiliation." After coming to power in 2004 on a promise to clean up Greek politics after decades of socialist graft, the outgoing conservatives have themselves been shaken by scandals, an issue much highlighted by LA.O.S in election pamphlets.

Maybe it's sorta like that "Schiller sprach zu Goethe, Steck in dem Arsch die Flöte! Goethe sagte zu Schiller, Mein Arsch ist kein Triller!"
