Greek Referendum on IMF/Troika deal

[swl]

The European Commission published the latest draft proposals at the time the negotiations broke down, so that should be what the Greeks are asked to vote on: http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_IP-15-5270_en.htm

On the referendum, my opinion is that it should have happened earlier.

Indeed these EU countries poorer than Greece should be exempted. Their contribution is negligible anyway.

So in the end only KKE and the Nazis voted no, and governmental opposition amounted to nothing more than a few abstentions.

In one or two years if the situation is getting worse with no end of the tunnel in sight (and how could the economy get better with more tax raises and budget cuts?), the 60% who voted against austerity will turn to KKE and the Nazis.
And to make a link with the poll above, the creditors' uncompromising attitude will be to blame as much as the previous Greek governments.
