Re: Greece Bailout
It's quite funny really, we want a referendum to stop pumping money in, and they want a referendum to stop accepting it. Sounds like an easy solution to me

True.

There's always a tendency towards mad, hysterical laughter.

When the lunatics have taken over the asylum.

Re: Greece Bailout
Polls show that 60% of the Greek population would vote gainst the bail out package. On the other hand, 70% do not wish to leave the euro.

Experts say that if there is a NO vote in the referendum, Greece will have to leave the euro.

So the Greeks may well be voting for one thing, and actually ultimately getting what they don't want to happen.

What a mess!

Hobsons choice - thats what democracy has been reduced to.
Maybe it is fitting that the nation who invented democracy witness the death of it.

Re: Greece Bailout
There is more to this referendum than immediately meets the eye. It appears that the Greek PM was pushing through the law which permits referenda, last summer. At the same time he was huddled around the table with Merkel and Sarkozy arranging the bail out. The inference being that he planned this all along. Either he is trying to shaft the Germans for what they did in the war or he is trying to ratchet up the size of the haircut the banks will have to take, or both - hell, why not. It's not as though they have much to loose now.

I smell another coup.

Could have the gun-toting Generals back in charge by Christmas.

No chance, chuck. They sacked all the heads of the armed forces and replaced them with pro government officers just after the referendum was announced.

Here, lads, how about this for an MP:

Dodgy Greek parasite or not, she'd get my vote.
