The Greek Referendum YES/NO ?

BBC News: Reports that the Greek PM George Papandreou has stated that he is willing to drop the idea of Referendum if the Opposition Party supports the EU austerity package. This is crafty folks, any austerity package then will have the support of the Government and the Opposition, all Parties would have economic blood on their hands. In watching the Greek PM talking in the Greek Parliament it was a case of either back the EU deal or there will be referendum. The problem for Mr Papandreou is that the Germany and France have frightened the Government MPs, thus they want the EU deal passed, but what happens afterwards, if there mass protests on the streets, even violence, the German and French leaders don’t have to live in Greece, these MPs do in less your going to go in to exile after they vote for austerity. In many respects the Greek PM wants the all of Parliament tied in to the deal, thus removing a major political weapon from the Opposition. The No Confidence vote is on Friday, it will be interesting to see if the Greek PM can get through this mess. The major victim folks is Democracy, the Classic Greeks must look with shame on present Greece.
