    Have the Greek protestors got any idea of an alternative to the current plans?

    AIUI, they are like the Spanish protesters, "indignant":

    What do we want?
    No idea!
    When do we want it?
    Now!

    Current standing on Greek vote.

    100 Yes 92 No, still ongoing.

    Apparently they passed the budget.

    The mob doesn't seem to be protesting anything in particular but they are protesting it very angrily.

    My guess is the army will be in charge again before long.

    From the interviews I have heard on the TV and radio, the only argument that the protestors seem to have is "it's not fair". Yet to hear what they do actually want that is practicable.

    I think they just don't really understand the consequences of voting no, which are even more austerity and faster and a serious case of ATM failure.

    It is a real case of cutting one's nose to spite your face.

    Definately the end of the beginning, and certainly not the beginning of the end :eek:
