Greece's new centre-right prime minister has vowed the country will "proudly raise its head again".

After New Democracy's landslide victory on Sunday, Kyriakos Mitsotakis said he would not fail to "honour the hopes" of the Greek people.

The win comes four years after Alexis Tsipras's leftist Syriza party swept to power promising an end to austerity.

But voters began to turn on Syriza after it accepted tough fiscal measures in return for an international bailout.

Unemployment and a shrinking economy further damaged support.

In the election, Mr Tsipras's Syriza came second, with just 31.53% of the vote so far, according to official figures released after almost all districts returned their results.

Today, I went to the beach with my children. I found a sea
shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and
said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear."
She placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab
inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back!
LoL I know this is totally off topic but I
had to tell someone!

When I originally commented I appear to have clicked the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and now
every time a comment is added I get 4 emails with the exact same comment.
Perhaps there is an easy method you can remove me from that service?
Thanks a lot!
