Dont for get a Mr Vladimir Putin is not that far away and then see the EU lot jump aboutThe Greeks won't reform enough, hence why this has come about. I agree that a default is inevitable but has been put off by repeated last minute deals. Until they actually accept thast the handouts are going to end there won't be the major reforms to retirement age ect that the rest of the EU have already had to deal with.
In the short term it isn't going to help milk/beef/grain prices thanks to a likely run on the € with cash invested in buying £ & US$ instead.
Going to Crete on 13th July, waiting to see which currency best to take.
Roubles?
Yuan?

If Syriza thought it was a good idea to call a referendum it would have been more sense to call it so the result was known before the current deals expired. I don't think it is working out as they expected (so far), I get the impression they didn't think the EU would ever say no to them if they held out long enough. As for what will happen from here on, that is anyone's guess.i've no political love for syriza..but IMO they've done the right thing in calling a referendum.....it's upset the EU technocrats because they don't like the people deciding anything
two generations of career EU politicians have wrecked everything the european union should be about

According to polls most Greeks want to keep the Euro and stay in the EU, or that is what they felt a week or so ago. They have been talking about a referendum for ages, it just seem daft to call it so you get the answer a week after you needed to have made the decision. If they had got on and done it they would know if they had a mandate or not. I suspect Syriza knew they would not got the answer they wanted, maybe they are hoping that will change after 5 days of public fear and panic.quite right...they obviously felt they could get the deal they felt mandated to get by winning the election.....not able to do this what should they do 1/ default....they could claim a mandate for this.. 2/knuckle under....people didn't vote for them to do this 3/ let the people decide?...hold a referendum
i can't see the logic of greece limping along with bailouts....there's no good way out...but defaulting,though alot of pain to start with, will be the lesser evil IMO....because it's going to happen eventually anyway
A wad of €'s cos they'll be biting your hand off for hard cash and there is a very real possibility of a run if things get really sticky.Going to Crete on 13th July, waiting to see which currency best to take.
