Why do you think this vote is happening?

Do you understand the platform Tsipras ran on six months ago?

“Yes” means they remain under the thumb of Brussels (aka Germany). “No” means they have an opportunity to follow the lead of Iceland and regain their sovereignty.

It looks like they will leave the Euro. I don’t know why they are having to agonize over it. The Euro thing was a big mistake for all concerned.

Tsipras’s platform is the continuation of the socialist fairy tale. However, the root of the Greek problem is not socialism but socialism on someone else’s funds. So any step toward nationalism and sovereignty is a step in the right direction, regardless of false motivations of some.

Which would be better for Greece than being a German colony.

That is the only choices they really have. Stick with fellow Orthodox Christians, or with the godless in Berlin.
