Democracy

Horror of horrors, the Greek Prime Minister has proposed a referendum on the bailout package that will impose severe cuts and austerity on the Greek population.  The very suggestion that the people be allowed to determine their own future through the ballot box is anathema to the Bankers and Bureaucrats of Europe.  Democracy, as demonstrated the other day in our own Parliament, is only convenient when it suits those in power.

Politicians got us into this mess, why do they think that they have the solutions to get us out of it?
