'Without new money, salaries won't be paid, the health system will stop functioning, the power network and public transport will break down, and they won't be able to import vital goods because no one can pay,' he said.
Congress doesn’t read things before voting on them so why should the Greek electorate?
The NO check box is at the top, above the yes box even though the key word is accept. Tilted? Guess they listed the options alphabetical to be fair/
....yes means no, no means yes, up means down, down means up....damn, you’d think these Greeks were watching us or something....
Politician’s word these initiatives the way they want them to turn out. Case in point. In the state of Arkansas during last election (2014) there was a ballot initiative (Constitutional amendment) that was many pages long. I think it was about six. Mostly legal BS as you can imagine. The average person doesn’t read several pages but the title was Term Limits. Everybody likes term limits right? Well AR already has term limits but this bill was written to extend the limits. Of course the majority voted Yes!
“You have to vote on the referendum to find out what’s in the referendum.”
It is worse than that. The question is in Greek, not English.
Liberals are just pissed the Greeks are not voting FOR this bailout. They say the same thing here in the US when we don’t vote for their crap: “These stupid people don’t understand what we are presenting them!”
