Re: It's decided now (4.00 / 3)
My prediction: ND+Pasok, and Democratic Left will fold into it when it becomes clear that the Quisling coalition has the seats.

That will wipe out Pasok and Dem.Left in the next elections, but Pasok's parliamentarians are presumably down to the totally soulless apparatchiks and thoroughly corrupt clientilists, so they should be reasonably safe from defection during their term. Dem.Left is fishier - they're the venal opportunist wing of Pasok, so I would not bet money on them staying the course in any government, left right or center.
