ATHENS (Reuters) - Greece's far-right Golden Dawn expelled a lawmaker on Tuesday, its second deputy to go in less than a week, exposing cracks in a party many of whose top officials are in jail pending trial.
The fate of the party, which is widely accused of being neo-Nazi, is being closely watched ahead of May local and European elections, in which it is expected to perform well and frustrate Prime Minister Antonis Samaras's efforts to rein it in.
