The historically dominant parties have been New Democracy and the Panhellenic Socialist Movement.

In the Parliamentary elections held in 2009, five political parties entered parliament: New Democracy (ND), the Panhellenic Socialist Movement (PASOK), the Communist Party of Greece (KKE), the Coalition of the Radical Left (SYRIZA) and the Popular Orthodox Rally (LA.O.S.).

The states of Greece (Greek: επαρχία, "eparchy") were sub-divisions of some the country prefectures as its shown in Greece states map. From 1887, the states were abolished as actual administrative units, but were retained for some state services, especially finance services and education, as well as for electoral purposes. Before the Second World War, there were 139 provinces, and after the war, with the addition of the Dodecanese Islands, their number grew to 147.

According to the Article 7 of the Code of Prefectural Self-Government (Presidential Decree 30/1996), the provinces constituted a "particular administrative district" within the wider "administrative district" of the prefectures. The states were finally abolished after the 2006 local elections (see Greece states map), in line with Law 2539/1997, as part of the wide-ranging administrative reform known as the "Kapodistrias Project", and replaced by enlarged municipalities (demoi).

Each city-state ruled itself. They differed greatly from the each other in governing philosophies and interests.
