Je suis Greek
I was going to write about the Greek elections.
Unfortunately the only Greek word I know is Domestos so I am somewhat handicapped.
I do know that apparently the Germans are unhappy with the election results, so that's not a bad thing.
I know that the Greeks have used democracy against the EU which is an excellent thing.
I know that the EU will be furious which quite frankly is brilliant.
Our gubmint will be somewhat confused as they preached anti-austerity while ramming their tongues as far as possible up the EU's collective arses.
It will be interesting to see how the EU copes with the new setup in Greece.
They can't demand a re-election.
They can't cave into anti austerity demands as that would cause a crowd surge from Ireland, Italy and Spain.
My bet is that we will see the EU's bully boy tactics at their finest.
Interesting times…..
Je suis Greek.
My guess, if the EU can't impose their way on Greece (ie: avoid debt forgiveness AND keep Greece in the EU) they'll eventually fuck the place up, royally. Spain election at end of 2015 and the EU will want to put the 'fear of god' into the Spanish to stop them going in the same direction.
Time for this grand fellow to be resurrected perchance?
(Meanwhile the Irish government will be hopping from one foot to the other, as they try to keep up with the beat)

Signs of their first tactic – turn the rest of Europe against Greece by telling everyone that the taxpayer will gave to pay for Greek debts!
This begs the question – how come we were bailing out Greece when we are being bailed out ourselves?
most likely the political party in greece will just not do what they said they would in order to get elected status quo will be maintained
They'd get away with that in Ireland, but the Greeks aren't quite so compliant. They tend to gat a little ansty when riled
Government won c'est la vie…
I was wondering how come the only word of Greek you know is Domestos (δομέστος) meaning 'structures'?
