People get the leaders they deserve, and I - for one - would be happier to see the Greeks live in servitude for a few years, rather than me doing so to repay their stupidity and greed.

So there.
You get the leaders you deserve? What if none of them ever represent the interests of the people themselves?

Does Britain really deserve a Tory/Lib Dem alliance? They didn't vote for it. And yet we have austerity and a refusal to challenge the banking system.

No, I disagree with you. Voting is no longer voting for the leaders you deserve. The fix is well and truly in. There is no alternative.
