As a widely-read individual, I have to say that my life's conclusion has got be that Greece is Good News - for many reasons!

Firstly, all the newspapers love a good Greek story. Greece is Global!

And as a far more widely-read individual than you (unless you count tabloids and fiction), I have to conclude that you’re not well.

Greece is in the news everywhere for the wrong reasons.

The country is portrayed as a lunatic asylum, and not hard to see why. Tonight parliament will suffer a midnight spanning session, at the insistence of its unbalanced speaker who says the rules mandate that this vote spans two days of deliberations.

And the motion? To adopt as the official Greek offer to creditors the very loan agreement that 62 per cent of the population rejected last Sunday.

If you are seeking hopeful news about Greece look for the less vociferous but effective people like Economides the branding genius (he worked for Apple and Coke A Cola so Greeks do not take him seriously!!!), the investment economist Aristos Doxiadis, former environment minister Manos. These are Greeks who know how to think and offer novel solutions. Which of course guarantee that the left wing neo luddites will not listen.

Now come tomorrow morning to the ATM with me and listen to what people are saying. I have made many new aquaintances since the ATMs have become part of our daily routine. Last time the machine was taking its time producing the 50 Euro note and the guy at the back shouted "shove a pic of Tsipras in the slot, that should make it work".

Yes, Nikitas - it might be for all the wrong reasons. Certainly not simply because of Syriza as you, and ultra-conservatists, would rather we believed.

Quite simply, the lazy British press love to use hackneyed phrases like "Greek Drama" or "Greek Drachma" (play on words), "Greek Tragedy", "Ye Greek Gods", "All Greek to me", "Drinking Hemlock", "Achilles heel", "Pyrrhic victories", etc etc etc.

They love their literary allusions.

GreekIslandGirl, who are the ultra-conservatives in Greece?. ND?, Golden Dawn?.
I think ND because Golden Dawn is a nationalist party and they support keynesianism and Welfare State.
