To be fair, the reason New Democracy has just been eviscerated in favour of a hard-left protest party is because that primary surplus has come at the cost of truly massive unemployment. Youth unemployment has been as high as 62%. Even Gideon and Dave would balk at that. The price the Greek people have paid for the illusion of budget stability has been just too high.
