The politicians won't allow any change that will end their corruption. They will create new laws to specifically target any movement they don't like.

How come that the right is so weak in Greece after the economic collapse and the migrant crisis?

GD was distributing food supplies to impoverished Greek families. First, they would forbid them to distribute the supplies claiming that they didn't have a permit (which they wouldn't get anyway) and then they made a law that said that this is racist and they had to give food to illegal immigrants as well.

And people still vote traitorous politicians like these that prefer invaders? If there was even a little bit of decency these guys would be executed for treason.

If by "right" you mean the nationalists, there are a few reasons. Leftists promise a better living and people are ready to take that promise even if that means more "refugees". Also poverty. Nationalists are not part of the system and often live a difficult life, so they can't raise a family or print thousands of posters as the leftists do. People are ready to sell out so they can get a job, as everything is controlled by the political system. In general, people everywhere prefer the easy life.

It's similar to the two party system in USA. There are Democrats, there are Republicans, often there's little difference, but people vote one or another instead of trying a third solution. It's really astounding, but it's the way it is.
