About 10 drachmas an hour, enough to buy a henway (if he had a job)<\/p>\n
Today (Sunday) is election day and the results are coming in.<\/p>\n
The mainstream “Conservative” (by Greek standards) party support going with the bailout – only the far left party wants to tear up the bailout agreement and default.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The mainstream Conserative and fastly shrinking moderate left parties want to take the money from Germany but ignore the demands for Germany for German control of the Greek Government and its budget.<\/p>\n
So among the outcomes would be…<\/p>\n
1) An “unexpected” victory by the far left or at least enough to prevent any government from being formed, creating a default very quickly<\/p>\n
2)\u00a0 Neither main party winning enough for outright control and either having to work with each other, or partner with another fringe party for a weak shaky government<\/p>\n
3)\u00a0 Nothing much happens and Germany shrugs its shoulders<\/a> and gives Greece more rope to hang itself<\/p>\n 4)\u00a0 Tim Geithner loots the US Treasury to bail out Goldman Sachs<\/p>\n 5)\u00a0 Tanks roll over the German \/ Greece border and Germany repossesses all the BMWs<\/p>\n 6)\u00a0 Turkey invades Cyprus and creates a huge distraction and breaks up NATO..<\/p>\n 7)\u00a0 Art Bell returns to doing Coast to Coast full time.<\/p>\n Based on recent “unexpected” election results and late polls not done by the government, I suspect the “Tear up the treaty and default” party is going to win, maybe even an outright victory giving them control of the government.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" About 10 drachmas an hour, enough to buy a henway (if he had a job) Today (Sunday) is election day and the results are coming in.
