Erm didn't Greece lie through its teeth to get into the Euro in the first place, which is one of the reasons it became so rocky.
So they let em in.

In "Debates" they look for topics which are not USA-centered. Here we do have one 🙂
In fact I fear that there are some misconceptions:
* The EU is not governed by Germany
* Greece might be hard driven to pay back money if they return to the Drachma and that spirals into free fall.
* Greeks won't be happy when their banks fail.
* Rich Greeks won't suffer with the rest of the nation.

anything about 78? That was a fraud
Really, we've been robbed twice. I can't really complain about 2010; Howard Webb was a disgrace, but he disadvantaged both sides, and we probably would've lost it anyway.

So, an anti austerity party has gained well in Greece.
The Greek Prime Minister has conceded defeat.
Syriza the far left anti austerity party victor is
talking tough and has given 2 fingers to Germany
and the rest of the EU.
Greece may leave the EU and the Euro
if no agreement can be reached between
Syriza and the EU.
Ha ha ha, Europe may be separate nations again
like they were meant to be.
