DigOutYourSoul Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 Looks like it's going to be a no vote. Markets tomorrow are going to be all over the place. What's everyone's thoughts on it being a No vote? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergeant Wilson Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 Well I'm here and in a position to judge. The doctors generally speak better English because it's a requirement of the role in an international city like Athens. I'm here and talking to some people and feeding back what they're saying. I'm sorry that doesn't stand up to your scrutiny. Maybe I'll just find myself a higher horse and pontificate like a total fanny looking for an argument that doesn't really exist. Calm down, you'll give yourself a heart attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul-r-cfc Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 Polls have closed. Indications no could win by 8-10 points with high levels of support amongst middle classes. Will tomorrow be a good time or bad time to stock up on euros? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 Hopefully it will force the creditors to come up with a deal that allows Greece to grow out of its crisis. If not, congratulations on your new Presidency General Stavros! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will tomorrow be a good time or bad time to stock up on euros? I bought mine 2 days ago, maybe prematurely. Could be a good time tomorrow or soon after the result tonight, before encouraging signs of a compromise leak out, if they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete's Frontier Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 This communist Greek PM's statement is laughable, he's leading them to disaster. But a likley £11bn hit for us. Imagine if Scotland was a full separate member as the poor fools want, would be a minimum £1bn coming right out of our coffers. Sturgeon wants us to be full members so we'd be paying double our annual fee to cover Greek incompetence and greed. The other spin off is going to be humanitarian assistance to Greece by all the great and good. The £12bn foreign aid budget will be diverted from dictators and Islamists to Athens.

I'm Brian Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 I wouldn't mind Scotland helping our less wealthy European brothers once we're Independent. We're used to it. We've been helping our financially less well off neighbour since 1707. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Greek debt is roughly equivalent of our share UK national debt. Independence for Scotland equals the same disaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AberdeenBud Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 A soft No might be the best possible for the Greeks. Notable that that's another nation refusing to succumb to the cheap threats and intimidation of project fear. Wha's like us, indeed. Although it's an almighty gamble, there's a growing contingent in Germany who would be happy to take the hit on a Grexit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Stubbs Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 60/40 No after 7% counted. Wooft. Opposition party candidate on BBC News greeting about Greeks being divided It seems like the whole Yes campaign is straight from the Project Fear textbook. Up them.

H_B Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 In true P&B style, the odds have completely reversed since I said Yes might be value. No is now 1/5 The aftermath of a No vote would be fascinating. Yep, looks like me and you are responsible for European chaos. I hope you can sleep tonight. Tsk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparky88 Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 A no vote is probably best for Greece and democracy overall. Can't help thinking the EU will keep on trying to get the Greeks to accept a bailout until they do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H_B Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 This is the way I see it going. I think most Greeks will know that a No vote is the better option for the long term but they will shite it just to get the banks open for a start. Syriza only won about 36% of the vote at the election so they have a job on their hands getting and keeping the public onside through all this turmoil. Thing is .. What do Syriza do now? If they get their No vote and the Eurozone rubber ear them as they have to do to retain any credibility, where do they go from there? If Greece reject the bailout terms, there's no way the creditors are going to say 'ah, OK.. We'll do it your way'. Horrible for those in Greece but absolutely fascinating.
