Greece: How they could offer to ask people?
  • Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou faced calls from within his own party to step down on Tuesday after he threw the nation's euro zone membership into jeopardy by calling a referendum on a bailout package agreed only last week.

    A leading lawmaker from Papandreou's socialist party quit while two others said Greece needed a government of national unity followed by snap elections, which the opposition also demanded.

    The leaders of France and Germany scrambled to limit the damage to the wider euro zone, and European politicians expressed incredulity at an announcement that caught everyone by surprise -- including Papandreou's own finance minister.


    It seems like democracy must be now interpreted as oligarchy with majoritary voting system decoration.
    And "hard work" is now defined as bunch of idiots adding numberts in electronic database records and calling this "improving stability".

  • That's what happens when your prime minister is from America. Minnesota of all places.
  • The funny thing is that the banks have agreed to "redeem" the debt of Greece to 100 billion, but the banks get 100 billion from the European Central Bank. So banks "lose" only percentage of the Greek debt + 100 billion from the European taxpayer. Wow.
  • It looks like after more deep thinking and consulting with bank bosses goverment decided not to ask people about such sensitive matter.
