(BN) Papademos Received 199 Votes of Support in Greek Austerity Vote

So the vote was 199-74. In theory the 3 parties that backed Papademos should have had 253 votes. These 3 parties expelled 43 “deputies” for defying the party line. I can’t tell whether that is part of the 74 or these are separate. There should be closer to 300 voters, so not sure what happened to the other 25 or so?
