Greece and the Markets


Telegraph Live - Greece: Reports that European Markets have nosedived due to the failure to form a Coalition Government in Greece, in its 2.18pm post the articles notes that there has been a fall of between 2%/3% around Europe.

Lets Get Real:

The Markets have to get ready for a Greece to exit the Euro faster than expected, there has been general comment that it could take a year and half for this happen, this blog has its doubts, Greece might not have that much time, if Germany turns off the money then Greece is on its own. The expected elections in a Month's time will settle the issue, if Greece goes out of the Euro expect the UK to pay, the good Greek people can be allowed to starve or for there to be civil disorder in Athens, thus the EU will have bailout Greece again whiles it sets up its own currency. It will cost billions of pounds folks, but the UK would have no choice, if the people are left out in the cold they might move to other European Counties, that would include the UK, thus more people on the dole, so its going to cost folks, it wont be popular, but nothing the UK Government does these days is popular, that is Democracy folks, and the Greeks did give the world that gift.

Walking off a Cliff - Greece


BBC News: Reports that the Democratic Left, a moderate left wing Party in Greece has stated it wont go in to Coalition Government without the more left wing Syriza bloc.

Lets Get Real:

With the exception of the main Conservative and Socialist Parties in Greece why should the minor Parties place their necks on the chopping block, if they support the never ending austerity package of the agreed deal between the EU/IMF/ECB and the previous Greek Coalition Government they face being destroyed in the next election. Any new Coalition Government would be fragile and would fall sooner not later, thus fresh elections and Greece has a choice vote for the austerity Parities and stay in the Euro or not and leave the Euro, that is the only choice Greece has, its not fair folks but that is the choice that Greece has at this moment.
