At any rate, anti-austerity parties may be right to berate Syriza, but ND & PASOK have no leg to stand on; brought us here, never negotiated

The mere notion of Samaras waiting in wings to return, after sawing Syriza's chair is laughable; he's almost universally despised in Greece

As for PASOK, they still wield power & intrigue under the table, but they'll be lucky to return to double digits in the next decade.

Something tells me that, for all their posturing, the troika have warmed to dealing w 'pragmatic' Syriza, rather than w unpopular PASOK/ND

Syriza might have a hard time selling a deal out of this vampire kiss in parliament, but NDSOK had riots every time. And walked w bodyguards

In fact, it looks a damn sight certain that all the troika wants is for Syriza to be seen bending the knee, for austerity to prevail.

At this point, it doesn't look like any of the decision-makers are thinking beyond the immediate. The debt relief taboo is highly indicative

NDSOK are likely colluding, but if the troika can squeeze a couple of terms' worth of austerity out of Syriza, they'll ditch them in a flash

Then again, austeritarians haven't been 'rational players' in a long while, so nothing can be taken for granted in this deranged squeeze.
