Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

No disagreement here. But the harm done in the process (which can take years) is massive.

Accepting talos' polling as accurate - and I have no reason to think it's inaccurate ;-) - the majority in Greece:

  1.  Don't trust the current political leaders

  2.  Think there are other ways to solve the crisis

  3.  Want to re-negotiate The Deal

  4.  Think "deep changes" needs to happen

In my ignorance of Greek politics, I think that means it isn't going to be "years."  A year, maybe two, before things explode.

I agree the harm done in the process will be massive.

If it's any comfort, I submit the rest of the world is not that far behind you.
