But I feel sorry for them now, and I think that they should get a chance to vote on something that will affect them so drastically. I'm sure that they would have voted YES, because what can they really do? But democracy is vital and dignity is priceless...Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-71392905783841127402011-11-03T10:48:05.251-04:002011-11-03T10:48:05.251-04:00Update - Pappy's confidence vote to be held an...Update - Pappy's confidence vote to be held and the New Democracy party (Salvation Gov't) to take over. They will accept the bail out and the referendum is dead. Wow, the immense pressure being put on Pappy and the Greek people is stunning.

The referendum could go either way and Pappy knows that. Greeks with investments/holdings/any assets will think twice about turning their euros into drachmas, so much risk, a lot to lose. I wonder if the referendum will bring out more voters than actual elections do. If it's a get out of EU, then it's suddenly okay for Italy/Portugal/Spain to do it as well, eventually. That will leave the EU so small, it simply won't matter anymore, no clout.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-22929715884817741152011-11-03T06:27:12.771-04:002011-11-03T06:27:12.771-04:00Looks like a bunch of posturing by France and Germ...Looks like a bunch of posturing by France and Germany considering all that "aid" would just be re-routed back to French and German banks that lend out all that Greek money in the first place, won't help the Greek people in the least.Rev Effectnoreply@blogger.com
