Firstly, it would have caused a healthy debate in Greece, about
how deep in the poo that they really are. The stark choices would
have been laid before people, ie that there are no easy options.
People would have then become directly responsible for their
actions and at some point have to accept the reality of the situation.
All that will happen now, is whatever Govt decides, there will
be more demonstrations and attempts to overthrow the Govt, as
everyone tries to shoot the messenger. That will solve exactly
nothing.
