Greek Plebiscites Recounted By Dorothy Thompson
Dorothy Thompson argues that free plebiscites in Greece historically proved unreliable, citing the 1935 referendum under Kondylis and Metaxas as a staged vote with clear manipulation. She links this to broader questions of legitimacy and democracy under foreign influence and warns against equating such plebiscites with true self rule.
