"It’s not that the troika won’t do a deal with Greece, it’s just that it won’t do a deal with Syriza. Even if the basis for one could be found, the IMF, the European Commission and the European Central Bank would not trust the current government to implement it. In such circumstances, they would rather not have one at all, and damn the consequences. If, on the other hand, a more centrist government were to emerge in Greece, a far more conciliatory offer would immediately be on the table. Greece would be welcomed back with open arms. As long as Greece remains led by Syriza, there is virtually no chance of achieving the stated goal – remaining in the euro, but with a less severe form of austerity. The irony is that an alternative government would be much more likely to achieve this outcome than Syriza." http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/11706630yy/For-Greeces-international-creditors-regime-change-is-the-ultimate-goal.html _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
