We'll miss him. He's a colourful character, after all.

@MW Where'd you get that rumour?

Greece doesn't seem to have had an election yet it has a new prime minister appointed by an outside power, that will act against the interests of Greeks and in the interests of The ECB and The Fed.

This won't end well.

They also said that the ECB, IMF etc were going to send in a team of 'technocrats' to run Greece.
