Not pretending to have a clue though.
I am of the opinion that austerity and blaming citizens for the crisis was in no way fair nor just. Now to be given the actual opportunity to reject the impositions of the global financiers is a good thing. Greece will suffer hardship no matter what happens, but to be freed from the shackles of international finance is a starting point.

The elite don't really know what is good for the economy either, but they are very good at lining their own pockets and the pockets of those that they share company with.

This is a brave and courageous move.
