Do you support Grexit?

[ingemann]

With a Syriza victory, do people here support Greece leaving the Euro?

[🦀🎂🦀🎂]

I support the Euro being scrapped and started from scratch, so in some ways, yes.

[Deus Naturae]

I support the Euro being scrapped and started from scratch, so in some ways, yes.

How would you set it up differently?

[Sprouts Farmers Market ✘]

Absolutely! It's killing southern Europe and a true recovery will not occur until it's gone.

That would be Other.

[SNJ1985]

I do not support SYRIZA, but I would support a Grexit.

[ingemann]

I can see how shooting a patient in his head would stop a disease, but I'm not sure a recovery will follow. Of course Greece may be at a point, where such a thing would be a mercy. Through I would say with the development of the Greek economy the last few years, it would be more like shooting a recovering patient, at loeast if the numbers Greece report is true (something, which we always need to doubt somewhat).

[Insula Dei]

It might be somewhat positive for the Eurozone at this point, but I'm afraid it has the capacity to be pretty catastrophic for the Greek people. So, no, I don't.

[Sol]

If the Germans agree to allow more inflation, no. Otherwise, yes.

I quite like the idea of a two tier euro that is gradually merged. Obviously it needs to have more democratic oversight, and a greater defence against deflation.

[ag]

Yes, of course. Keeping Greece in Euro is politically unsustainable. Greece is a democracy, they have just voted to get out of the Eurozone - they, most definitely, should be allowed to do so. And it does make a lot of sense for them. In fact, I believe, Greek exit from the Eurozone should be something both the new Greek government and the Germans would find easiest to agree on.

[andrew_c]

Yes.  Two tiers of countries under a single monetary policy doesn't work.

[traininthedistance]

If the Germans agree to allow more inflation, no. Otherwise, yes.

[politicus]

Yes, only sensible solution. Greece should never have been in the Euro-zone in the first place.

[Associate Justice PiT]

     I support ending the Euro, so yes.

[Beet]

If Greece exits now, it will probably just end up re-joining later at a lower exchange rate.

[ag]

Possibly. But not very soon.

[BaconBacon96]

I support the Euro's complete dissolution, so of course.

[Antonio the Sixth]

No, I support making the Euro a real common currency rather than the monstrosity we have now.

[Velasco]

No, I support making the Euro a real common currency rather than the monstrosity we have now.

Yes, that would be the sensible way to go. However, the EU is a monstruosity as you say.

[Gustaf]

Yep, but mostly because I hope the whole thing will be abandoned.

[Ashbringer]

Definitely not, an economical suicide for everyone.

[Beezer]

Grexit and a general contraction in size of the eurozone. The EZ is clearly not working and it is endangering the general European project.

[Landslide Lyndon]

Yes, of course. Keeping Greece in Euro is politically unsustainable. Greece is a democracy, they have just voted to get out of the Eurozone - they, most definitely, should be allowed to do so. And it does make a lot of sense for them. In fact, I believe, Greek exit from the Eurozone should be something both the new Greek government and the Germans would find easiest to agree on.

No, we absolutely didn't. Every poll shows that 80% of Greeks want to stay within the Eurozone and SYRIZA went to great pains to assure voters that they want the same too.

[Velasco]

It's like crashing against a wall, certain narratives will remain the same in spite of developments.

Grexit and a general contraction in size of the eurozone. The EZ is clearly not working and it is endangering the general European project.

The Eurozone is not working because there's a misguided political direction and a defective institutional architecture. Neither of the two is the Greece's fault. Another question is if you need a scapegoat. On the other hand, there's not 'European project' at this point.
