Greek referendum results live: No vote to eurozone bail-out deal leads by 60 per cent.
After 20pc of the vote is counted, Greeks look to have voted 'No' with a 60pc majority against Europe's bail-out conditions

July 20th...will be the Exit unless they pull a rabbit out of their hat.
Merk’s meeting with Holland Monday.
They don’t want “austerity” they want what happened down in former Rhodesia I guess
I think it is in Greece’s interest to leave, I just worry about those currently in charge. Their ‘rock star’ finance minister calls himself an ‘erratic marxist’.

It’s not in Greece’s interest to leave. They have no economy (except that based on the soon to vanish tourism.... I know people who just cancelled a trip there) and a huge welfare state that they cannot satisfy.
They now have an insane leftwing populist government that seems to believe that the country can live on air and that it was immoral of the EU to expect to be paid back for the social services loan it had made to the totally non-productive, dysfunctional Greek population. Lots o luck.
If this current government starts in with their marxist bs I wouldn’t be surprised to see the military ultimately step in.
Greeks didn’t “choose to deal.” They chose to reject the deal, repeatedly insult their neighbors and repudiate all of their debts. Greece just shut down its part in international trade.
Why are they so nonproductive?
This lets them pocket 240+ billion Euros.
Why choose the more responsible path, when this is a huge, net win?
5 bucks is gonna be worth 7 million Drachma soon!
Greece just walked away with hundreds of billions of everyone elses’ money.
This really boils down to a case of theft. No remorse; no regrets.
They’ll rapidly become to Europe what they should be. A nice backwater. Guaranteed though the rural areas will see a surge of citizens going back to where things can be grown.
Even worse, they’re going to discover that their talents as government bureaucrats are worthless to the real world. Something our own Department of Education, NEA, etc. folks will find out someday.
I hold individual rights sacrosanct, and do not believe the property of everyone should be plundered to satisfy the whims of a transient majority.
When our government goes belly up because of debt, won’t we be the ones to suffer?
I'd suffer a lot more if you supported people seizing my property to try and make good on promises I never supported. I've taken pains to take care of me and mine irrespective of how others vote. I find it odd that freepers support liquidating my assets to pay off Chinese or Japanese held T-bills, and yet we're having this discussion...
while i believe it blows over quickly i don’t believe its priced in yet. I stated in an earlier post i do think this is bullish longer term but now you have to realize this will be headlines for some time yet as Greece has delusions this will help them. They don’t want to leave the EU either. So a few things to iron out.
I've never been one to confuse what is right with what a majority votes.
I vote against Obama and his policies, why should that make me 'complicit' in them? Why should that allow creditors to then turn and seize my property?
i never said they were right to seize anything did i? Merely stating what i believe to be true, that a vote here wold go no differently under the circumstances i outlined.
