following the vote of confidence, papandreou met president karolos papoulias the next day to begin talks on forming a new coalition government. papandreou also said that he would resign and allow another interim prime minister. though new democracy's samaras demanded a snap election, an interim coalition government could have possibly involved popular orthodox rally, democratic alliance and/or the democratic left. however, democratic alliance chairperson dora bakoyannis said that an interim government to pass the eu demanded austerity measures must include new democracy to make the government viable. bakoyiannis also added that "there is no point in us supporting papandreou without samaras, we don't have enough votes to make a difference anyway. we'll support a coalition and vote with them, without any demands of positions, if papandreou and samaras can work it out." though samaras continued to demand a new election in saying that was the only option for "stabilisation of the country, to restore its image, and to emerge sooner from this nightmare," he also added that an interim coalition government was a good idea in order to pass the bailout bill. papandreou also said that: "my aim is to immediately create a government of co-operation. a lack of consensus would worry our european partners about our country's membership of the eurozone." he added that forming a coalition meant that he would "do whatever i can to help form a coalition government. the oct. 26 decisions and obligations stemming from this are a condition for the country remaining in the euro." an anonymous member of pasok suggested that papandreou believed that venizelos was the most appropriate person to head am interim coalition government as "venizelos is the main negotiator in europe, so there will be continuity, although new democracy is fiercely against this proposal." papandreou also hoped that a new government would be formed by 7 november, before eurozone finance ministers meet in brussels to discuss the next scheduled bailout fund for greece. however, according to pasok, papandreou would not resign until there was clarification on who would lead the coalition government and that he wanted a new government in the following week. laos also added that samaras should reconsider his position as forming a coalition government has been "achieved with the departure of papandreou from power."
