Increasingly suspecting that going into bed with ANEL was an error.
How so? Do you think that the Eurogroup would have reacted more favorably to a Potami-SYRIZA coalition?
I certainly think so. The main things that ANEL and SYRIZA have in common are anti-EU, anti-austerity populism and (more recently) nationalistic speeches. The only logical path for the coalition staying together was fighting the EU. If they SYRIZA had gone with the other non-KKE leftists and tried to do what it has been doing in the recent week, their pro-EU coalition partners would have tried to bring the government down.
I wonder if Syriza will split following this referenda?
If the YES side wins, there could be some losses but I don't seem them losing their status as the largest party on the left. They are in an odd spot where they have to reconcile as an anti-austerity party with some of their vaguely pro-EU voters.
