Analysts say Syriza could be hoping for another election after one opinionpoll put them in first position in any new ballot, albeit without an overall majority.
Whereas the Socialists took 34% of the vote in Wallonia at the last general election in May 1995, an opinionpoll in June this year found support for them had fallen by half to a mere 17% putting them level with the Greens, and well behind the liberals.
