The 1980s and early 1990s saw the return to power of a left wing that had been forcibly isolated from the mainstream of Greek politics since the early 1930s. That period also saw the failure of the left's most radical policies, followed by a hesitation among the electorate between the left and the center, both of which failed to solve Greece's most pressing problems.
