Neither Tsipras nor those of us who refuse to sell off our country are "responsible" for the suffering of our people. Reckless policies by previous governments (Andreas et al), acceptance of genocidal memorandums (Giorgakis et al) and the actions of outside forces (ECB) are what this present suffering is all about.

Welcome to Panathinaikos Sergio Sanchez!!!!!!!

Either you're naive or being mischievous, even the IMF who championed austerity said austerity hasn't worked, so if the previous government was still in power you'd have more austerity and asset sales to the point of Greece owning nothing, which of course is the goal of the creditors. Can someone explain to me in laymen terms what the problem with nationalised banks is? we've seen private banks all over the world run amok and cause the global crash in 2008 which governments around the world are still paying through the socialisation of debts and nationalising only the banks that were in trouble to stop them going under, and with the exception of Iceland these reckless speculators and bankers were rewarded for their crimes. Problem is so are the EU, in fact the EU are worse have a look at their accounts they won't let outside auditors anywhere near their accounts and even their own internal auditors have refused to sign off their accounts for how many years now? yet they want to lecture Greece about how to run their affairs as though they know whats best. BTW Cyprus did pretty much what the EU wanted and their banks froze for a few WEEKS leaving people unable to trade and withdraw money which crippled some businesses, it was resolved when these private banks decided to help themselves to peoples savings, so again whats the problem with nationalised banks? private banks don't seem to have a good track record.

I didn't win anything. It's disappointing that Greece is on the brink and they show up without proposals. Show some urgency and respect to the other member nations. It's 5 months straight of wasting time and playing games.

Regardless of the outcome we are F***ed either way, I'm just proud of our people for standing up and saying F*** you and voting OXI on Sunday, we stud up to the giant and shocked the world. If Greece leaves the euro, Spain, Portugal, Italy in my opinion will not allow to be pushed around either and don't be surprised if they start voicing there opinion and not accepting to be bullied either. Let's wait and see what happens but one thing is for damn sure as bad as things are the Greek people aren't afraid to fight. Germany would F*** anybody as long they benefited from it.

If I had the access I would make this all look pretty for you guys. :)

My personal opinion on this is that the Greek government should better consider the option of issuing Greek euro notes valid only in Greece (similar to N. Irish pound notes which are not valid in England). Make them legal tender throughout the country (parallel to the euro) and forbid any premium in trading with normal euros. That will keep the banks going, the economy going, will not be the radical step of leaving the Eurozone and - most critically - will buy us time. ;)

LOL read my post, its all there! Next Wednesday - July 15

I do not know how I feel about this. Generally negatively, I guess.

Yeah .... nah. When Varoufakis was asked by Tsipras to be the Fin Min he stated :- - he has no desire or wish to become a career politician. - he doesn't agree 100% with Syriza's political views but felt he must help the nation to the best of his abilities. - his ideal scenario with Greece's debt would be that Greece defaults within the EZ. - his ideal scenario with the EU is that it gets a massive wakeup call, because the way they are running things (austerity, austerity, austerity) will lead to the eventual disintegration of the EU. As far as I can tell, Varoufakis achieved all of his goals. At the very least he's irritated the hell of out the Germans and EU and for that alone he deserves a bronze statue! :D I wouldn't be surprised if he had the idea to resign at the same time as the announcement of the referendum. I wouldn't put it past him.
