Greek Elections

[megapronk]

I disagree with your sentiment on "Greece elections don't matter in the long run" so I've found a video that shows not only how bad the Euro is doing, but also where it is likely to go. Some of you may know this man, Nigel Farage, and I think he's one of the only few European leaders that's willing to actually tell it like it is.

Here's the video:

i said the elections probably dont matter in the long run because regardless of who is elected, the ECB AND the new greek gov't will try to keep greece in the euro. All I'm saying is that no matter who is elected, it is pretty much understood that greece won't just up and ditch the euro.
However, that's not to say that greece WILL stay in the euro. If conditions worsen/don't improve quickly enough, regardless of which party is controlling greece, you can expect the same outcome.
I read this in a book before, I don't remember which but it went something along the lines of
If you throw a stone in the river, it doesn't change the water's flow. It'll create a ripple, maybe even a splash, but the river flows onward.

That's very true. However, if you continue throwing stones (as the economy has been at Greece and the rest of Europe) Then eventually they will create a dam.

Thank you for providing that video. I had pretty much given up all hope of ever coming across a decent politician again, especially in the European Parliament, which at least in Sweden is considered pointless and just an ATM for retiring politicians.
Nigel gives me some hope, although he's sadly outnumbered by morons.

He really is. I think he's a political genius. You should search his name on YouTube, there's so many more videos from him pretty much just yelling at the EU. :P He's a great public speaker too.
