Election in Greece

Reuters reports that there will be a snap election in Greece on May 6. What makes it a "snap election" I wonder.

  1. "Snap" is a term for early, is it not? In that sense, since the general election is 17 months early, I suppose it qualifies. The next constitutionally mandated election was due in October 2013.

  2. I suppose that is so, Nick. But, given the time it has taken to come to this point, "snap" is not quite the right word, in my opinion.
