Greek elections

What?
A score of 1 out of anything is entirely wrong
Considering you claim to have me on "ignore" I should expect a ZERO, and nothing more
The very idea that I am somehow moving up your approval ratings I find creepily stalkerish
Please desist forthwith from your unwanted and unsought attentions

.....I like the way the cosmic joker ( very nearly ) named him Junker.....

I wouldn't rule out a coup, if they miss that payment tomorrow, the only way banks can reopen is a Yes vote (and even then it would be after the new government had settled terms) . You don't pay soldiers cash in hand.
A "coup" sounds a bit organised really.....
Cant see the army coming in again
There will be some kind of chaos, very likely with attendant violence, cannot imagine how once the "protection money" has stopped, it can be avoided

I've never claimed to have you on ignore. you are confusing me with someone else (Spanky Longhorn, to be precise). So cut your idiotic shite out
 
Take it apart then. If its such a load of bollocks a man of your skill could surely skewer it with ease?


First, capital strike - perhaps you mean capital controls? They are both technical economic ideas which I suspect that you are not aware of but they mean very different things.

Second, EU v eurozone - you are aware that these are different areas?

Third - in 2017, "they" will do "what" to "us"?

Fourth - an electorate chooses a government, which makes decisions and subsequently the electorate get results. Sometimes these are good results, sometimes these are bad. But the electorate are adults and, in the same manner that you are an adult, they get to make choices which they are fundamentally responsible for - if Greece leaves the eurozone there will be a massive shitstorm and the people who will probably get hurt the most are the Greeks but ultimately they have been the masters of their own misfortune.
 
I'm aware of what both terms mean in the narrow formal economic sense and what they equate to for real people on the ground.

And in your final paragraph you repeat the lie that people on the ground are architechts of the austerity imposed on them. Just like how me claiming the dole caused the 2008 crash ennit. First the greeks, then who knows eh, fair game if you have anything that resembles socialised healthcare or welfare, that the game is it? Oh wait yes it is.

Capital strike is not a technical economic idea - it is a nakedly political one and has been since its introduction. And why on earth suggest that he really means capital controls given - as you seem to know - that they are different things? Why not actually apply the idea of a capital strike to greece and see if there is evidence of it happening? Would that be too difficult for you to attempt?

Both "capital strike" and "capital controls" are narrow formal economic terms. But you were not using the former in any sensible way. Rather, I think you were trying to make a broader, crude point that some massed ranks of anonymous banks are "bullying" Greece, betraying your lack of understanding of the situation, in particular with regard to the "troika".

But more importantly the polis votes for a government to represent them. The Greeks voted for a government to do just that. It looks like it is currently doing a very bad job, unsurprisingly given the egocentrism of Tsipras and Varoufakis.
 
oh and literally nobody gives a shit on this- of course I know the difference. Its all a fucking joke, a capitalist boys club and greece is getting a beasting. While you chuckle.

You think I'm fucking chuckling? I'm an EU competition lawyer. If the EU falls apart, which it might well do because of this, I might well be out of a job.

I still would rather not have a 25% approval rating from you
You are right, and I cant tell you and the other tosser apart

Fair enough, you've admitted you can neither read nor comprehend. Which makes your contributions to this thread (nay, the whole board) kinda worthless, really.
