Opinion of Alexis Tsipras

[Thunderbird is the word]

vote!

[DavidB.]

Huge HP.

[Clarko95 📚💰📈]

Opposing the relentless push to force his country deeper into its society-shredding, reactionary politics-enabling, life-ruining economic depression with no end in sight to please some out-of-touch tools in the ECB and banks = Massive FF

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

Seems kind of useless so far.

[H. Ross Peron]

In an impossible situation, FF.

[ingemann]

Seems kind of useless so far.

More or less this. He's too useless to be a FF and his idea's too nice for him being a HP.

[Antonio the Sixth]

FF (not a braindead austericrat)

[Beezer]

Incompetent. 3 months on and the guy has done exactly what over the first 100 days?

[🦀🎂🦀🎂]

Better than Samaras or like any other Greek PM.

I.e. The tallest person in a dwarf convention

[Tetro Kornbluth]

Incompetent. 3 months on and the guy has done exactly what over the first 100 days?

A better question to ask is 'What could he have done given the circumstances?'

Otherwise I'm a bit Zhou Enlai wrt The French Revolution on this question.

[Sumner 1868]

I'm increasingly convinced he'll be a turncoat, but neutral for now.

[Yelnoc]

Seems kind of useless so far.

I have some sympathy considering the bind he's in, but that sympathy erodes with every week of stalling and caving. If he isn't capable of leading Greece, he should resign.

Of course, Zhou was actually talking about May 1968 in the case in question, but point taken nevertheless.

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

I don't dislike him and understand that the Greek government is being held by the balls, but still a disappointment.

[Oakvale]

Alexis Flanby.

[Velasco]

Yes, exactly. It's absolutely hypocritical and unfair deeming Tsipras as an "incompetent", or whatever adjective you want to use to discredit him, if the extremely adverse circumstances are not taken into account. Another question is that I found certain moves or decisions strange, but in any case my opinion of Tsipras has changed little since January. Basically, anyone trying to find a way out surrounded by enemies deserves a vote of confidence.

Well, he can't do much while he is handcuffed by Kaiser Merkel.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Hilarious person from a hilarious country.

[warandwar]

That means nothing. How is he hilarious, does he make you laugh? How does he make you feel? Marginalization.

[Cubby]

Huge FF

This troika nonsense needs to stop.

[Landslide Lyndon]

Mega-HP. He is a weak leader that can't control even his own party.
He has appointed a psychopathic narcissist  as FinMin, a crypto-fascist shrew as President of the Parliament and a bunch of incompetent anti-European neo-Stalinists and far-right loons at his cabinet.

His indecisiveness and procrastination has brought us into a much worse place than we were four months ago, his arrogance and divisive rhetoric has alienated even our closest allies (Cyprus) and his only "accomplishments" so far have been the abolishment of the few structural reforms enacted by the previous governments.

At least from the polls, it seems that the Greek people support him, which should count for something.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

I say that we hold the Hard Left to the same standards that they hold everyone else. But I'll also add (in fairness) that it isn't as though the alternatives are anything other than obviously worse.

Not anymore. Approval of his government has fallen from 83% in February to 40% now.

Still Greece's most popular politician (I think).
