Leftists lose in Greece

[Cancel 2018. 3]

Parties supporting a bailout saving Greece from bankruptcy won a slim parliamentary majority on Sunday, beating radical leftists who rejected austerity and bringing relief to the euro zone which was braced for fresh financial turmoil.

The election result looked likely to yield a coalition government led by conservative New Democracy but leaves an emboldened SYRIZA bloc to rally angry opposition in the streets to the punishing terms of the bailout.

i don't think this means anything for the US. as the "conservatives" are more like blue dog dems here.

The conservatives would be like members of our Socialist party. There is no equivalent to our rightist party, the Democrats, or our far-rightist party, the Republicans. And they're going to have to form a coalition with the Socialists if they want to gain power. The left has an overall majority, there's just a division between the pro-auterity and anti-austerity left.

And yes, a european collapse would mean a lot for the US. The US doesn't exist in a vacuum, no matter what it likes to think.

Yes we do.

I still think a European collapse would be funny. Then we could invite Africa, Latin America, and Asia to go in and colonize the place. Australia could send over its convicts.

I think we should start out by colonizing the UK. Bringing it all back home.

But we would have to kick out all those Brits first and I'm not sure any other Government would allow them to emigrate.

They'd have no problem emigrating, but probably a great many problems immigrating.
