#3 EU- Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou was flying to the chic French Riviera resort of Cannes on Wednesday to explain himself to European leaders furious over his surprise referendum on a bailout deal that took them months to work out.

#4 Greek crisis: Papandreou 'to offer to resign'
Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou is expected to offer his resignation within the next half-hour, sources in Athens have told the BBC.

Mr Papandreou will meet Greek President Karolos Papoulios immediately after an emergency cabinet meeting has finished.

He is expected to offer a coalition government, with former Greek central banker Lucas Papademos at the helm.

Mr Papandreou himself would stand down, the BBC understands.

The Greek government was on the verge of collapse after several ministers said they did not support Mr Papandreou's plan for a referendum on the EU bailout.

#9 When you owe the bank $100,000, you have a problem; when you owe $100,000,000, the bank has a problem. Substitute 'Greece' for 'you', and 'Germany' for 'the bank', and add a few more zeros to the amounts and you have described the current situation.

#11 The Elites are aghast that the commoners expect to actually be allowed to vote on something their masters have already decided for them. EU delende est.

#13 Speamble, ordinarily that's the case: the Eurocrats quickly mask their distaste, magnanimously let people vote - then make them keep voting till they get the answer they want.

This was different. The point of this exercise was merely CYA for the Greek government. To create the illusion that one option might be better than the other, when in fact the people of Greece are f*cked either way.

But point taken. Europeans haven't had a voice in their own governance for a very long time.
