Greece calls an election, but a new government might not last long

PUNDITS in Athens were not all that surprised when Costas Karamanlis, the Greek prime minister, announced that he would call a snap election next month, halfway through his four-year term. The opposition Panhellenic Socialist Movement (Pasok) led by George Papandreou is ahead by six points in the polls, so Mr Karamanlis seems set for a spell in opposition. His announcement, on September 2nd, duly infuriated some in his centre-right New Democracy party. “What am I to tell my voters? That we’re just surrendering power?” spluttered one backbencher.

But with a bare two-seat majority in parliament, the conservatives have been clinging to power in undignified fashion. After five-and-a-half years in office, Mr Karamanlis looks tired. A string of corruption scandals (one, over the sale of church property, involved his closest aide) have undermined his authority. …

Better news on unemployment in America

WHEN Barack Obama visited Elkhart, Indiana, in early February, a few weeks after his inauguration, it was a sombre affair. In the previous 12 months the area’s unemployment rate had more than tripled to 18.3%. The president pleaded for the passage of a massive fiscal stimulus, insisting that “doing nothing is not an option.” By the time he returned to Elkhart on August 5th he was quite a bit sunnier. Local factories are “coming back to life”, he proclaimed. Two days later he declared: “We’re starting to see a kind of resurgence of optimism.”

Mr Obama’s good spirits are well grounded: America’s recession appears to be coming to an end. On August 7th the government reported that the unemployment rate fell to 9.4% in July from 9.5% in June, the first drop since April 2008. Non-farm employment fell by 247,000, or 0.2%, weak in absolute terms but the least in 11 months, giving clear evidence of dissipating downward momentum. …
