The article reflects on the recent actions of PASOK leader Nikos Androulakis, who expelled a member of parliament after the latter criticized a leader of another political party from a foreign country. The piece posits that this expulsion may serve as a strategic message from Androulakis to convey that everything is running smoothly within PASOK, although the author is skeptical of this interpretation. Instead, they suggest that the situation may not be as rosy as portrayed, as PASOK trails significantly in popularity behind its rivals according to various polls.

It points out that the party is falling short of its goal of becoming the leading party, lagging about 15 to 20 percentage points behind in the polls. The author expresses doubts about the likelihood of PASOK ever regaining the top position, both from party insiders and outsiders alike. While they acknowledge that losing is not inherently detrimental, they argue that if PASOK cannot become the leading party, the narrative of forming a progressive government becomes untenable.

Ultimately, the commentary suggests that the party's current narrative may be unrealistic given its standing in public opinion. The article raises questions about the future of PASOK and its capability to fulfill its ambitions of leadership within the Greek political sphere, especially in light of the electoral competition posed by others in the field.
