Just days after a inconclusive parliamentary election, Greeks are facing the prospect of heading back to the polls.<br/> <br />Greek Socialist leader Evangelos Venizelos will make a last ditch attempt to form a coalition government.<br/> <br />But chances are slim that Venizelos can clinch a deal after both the conservatives and leftists failed to do so in three days of talks following Sunday's election.<br/> <br />On the streets of Athens, residents seemed frustrated at the deadlock.<br/> <br />(SOUDNBITE) (Greek) GEORGE, GREEK PENSIONER:<br/> <br />"I expect nothing, I think we will have a new election and it's disappointing"<br/> <br />If Venizelos cannot form a government, the President's efforts would be the last hope before new elections are called.<br/> <br />(SOUNDBITE) (Greek) MARINOS, ATHENS RESIDENT:<br/> <br />"I want to believe that with the president's mediatory efforts the best solution for the country will be found. We don't need new elections. Everyone must agree on a compromise for the good of the Greek people."<br/> <br />The result of Sunday's election was a rejection of the governing parties and an EU/IMF bailout deal that brought with it a raft of austerity measures.<br/> <br />While most Greeks oppose the tough terms of the bailout, many are fearful that the current political deadlock could result in Greece being ejected from the euro.<br/> <br />Simon Hanna, Reuters.<br/> <br />.
