Syriza getting 36%-38% and maybe a majority and maybe not will not reshape European politics.
I don't think Merkel is bluffing.
She will let the Greeks default and exit the EU.
If anything this will crack the whip on the Italians,Spaniards, and Portuguese.
TBH I watched some of the live footage from the 2012 riots, when Merkel was last being hard-line over Greek debt.
It's all monopoly money in the end, and watching buildings being burnt to the ground in some geo-political game of RISK, was actually quite disturbing.
Oh well we can carry on paying $500 for Obeche trim, and mock the lazy Greek/Spanish/Italians.
Grexit v2 ain't gonna happen. If one exits they can all exit. Power decentralizes back to member states, and plenty of small bit players in their home countries would love to rise to power and become mini Kim Jong -Ils.
