Despite this theoretical independence and distinction, for all practical purposes most candidates run as local front organisations for political parties."Making sense of the ballot https://web.archive.org/web/20101110111155/http://www.athensnews.gr/issue/13415/33224 2010-11-10 ", Athens News, 5 November 2010, p. 8.
