There is another thread saying there’s no way the Greeks will able to form a government. If there’s any silver lining that will come out of Sarko’s loss (Yes, Hollande is even more liberal, but I must admit it was enjoyable to watch the horndog Obama suckup & Isreal hater get his butt kicked) and the chaotic situation in Greece... it’s that the EU loving Europeans might be FORCED, kicking and screaming, to do away with the Euro and revert back to their own currencies. If Greece withdraws, you’ll see a domino effect throughout Europe. Pretty much the only way you’ll get the Euroweenies off the Euro is to hold a gun to their heads, and we’re just about at their point. I hope the Euro dies. If it’s dubbed a failed experiment (even though it was meant to be permanent), the cancer won’t spread to other continents.
Well, drat ! Does that mean we won’t be getting on the Amero ?
Well now the party that came in second, an anti-bailout leftist party has also failed, the main socialist party came in third, they will have the final chance to form a government. No one expects them to succeed. With this collection of parties it was probably inevitable that their would be another election but what if the new result doesn’t change things? I think the only pro-bailout parties were the main ones, they would team up but even together they are just shy of a majority, the anti-bailout conservatives wouldn’t join them. Some hope has emerged with a small leftist, anti-austerity but pro-Euro party maybe being willing to join now that the socialist leader would be Prime Minister instead of the conservative. They fear a new election will mean the end of the Euro in Greece.
This is a great weakness of the proportional representation system. At least Greece gives 50 bonus seats to the party that comes in first.
As for Sark, I can’t take any enjoyment. Maybe if it was that clown Chirac, I just hate his guts.
