It doesn't matter which government is in place, the poison pill is in place. Until the Greeks start paying taxes, until the pensions are cut and the social programs are cut and a massive number of their public servants are fired, I doubt they're going to see any money from the EU.

All this is doing is reshuffling the deck chairs on the Titanic.

Personally, it would be interesting to see the bailout not happen and for Greece to run out of money.

I would expect that even if the National Unity Government tries to push through the Austerity Measures, that they're in for a huge amount of strikes and riots.
