Greece 2012

[Zanas]

Isn't that Rule 34 ?

[Zanas]

AND, well, they proved themselves worthy by throwing water at Syriza's face, and punching KKE in the face so... That would be quite the reward to invite them.

Pasok make me puke. The sole fact that this "So" in their name stands for "socialist" makes me want to throw on each and every one of them.

[Zanas]

Since it appears that many civil servants have already seen their salaries cut by 3, how will you "slash government payrolls and salaries" ?

This is an example of the contrary of democracy : when you tell people 24h/24 that something is the only way, they end up chosing it. And even if they do not, you make them vote again, and again, and again, until they vote what you demanded they should vote. Worked in Denmark, worked in Ireland, worked in France (referendum of 2005, congressional vote of 2007), apparently works in Greece...

Depresses me...

[Zanas]

I believe that should there be a third election, Dimar voters would "vote utile" for Syriza, at least a number of them, in order to get Syriza the majority premium of 50 seats. So Dimar has their last shot at being in charge with a nice parliamentary group...

[Zanas]

I don't understand DIMAR too, they're giving legitimacy to this government.

And this is a bad thing... why exactly?

I don't get why the far-left is seemingly crossing fingers for this government to be a disaster, so that Greece falls off the cliff and hence sends the whole world down the drain. Don't you guys know when to stop petty politics and actually think about other factors that partisanship and ideology?

Aren't you pushing this a little bit too far ?...

Greece won't fall off anything. They will tear it apart, and it will survive. States are not companies you know. Stop believing that what's best for the market and companies is also best for the people.

The far-left, which is just plain left now that "the left" is, well, not the left anymore, is not crossing fingers for this government to be a disaster : it knows that this government will be a disaster for the people, because it will only think in matter of budget cuts. The left is "crossing fingers" worldwide to start treating people like, well, people, and not employees that you can fire or livestock.
