Yeah, because Greece, massive Islamic immigration, two world wars, high unemployment and the Balkans aside, they’re a model of efficiency.


Greece is an economic train wreck, but it’s not their electoral system that’s to blame. And I don’t think Greece is plagued by serious Moslem immigration. As for the World Wars and Balkan unrest, that’s not their fault. Germany, Russia and Turkey all have their historical hands in that.

“Greece is an economic train wreck, but it’s not their electoral system that’s to blame”

Well, the Greek electoral system produced decades of stagnant growth and a runaway welfare state, long before Greece adopted the Euro. To what do you ascribe Greece’s recurring economic and political crises?

2ndDiv didn’t tie all those things together - you did a weird misinterpretation. They are separate line items. And he never even mentioned Greece’s electoral system.

If Europe (Germany) wasn’t at fault for the first 2 World Wars, you must be reading some revisionist history.
