So this is more about your dislike of Germany than it is about Greece. Fair enough, but that’s another topic really.

As for the deal – which the Greek parliament may indeed yet reject in favour of bankruptcy and eventual return to the drachma – the hard line was not Germany’s alone. Far from it. Numerous other, and especially smaller and poorer euro countries were pushing and hoping that Germany would hold firm on their behalf. Why should Portuguese civil servants - who enjoy nothing like the cushy terms their Greek counterparts have until now – or the Slovak worker – whose country is poorer but has been sensible with its spending – pay for and even effectively encourage Greek profligacy?

Or imagine the UK was in Germany’s position: would you, a UK taxpayer and voter, happily agree that Greece should just be bailed out with your money, no conditions attached (or conditions that are easily circumvented)? You would be comfortable with the fact that ‘the Greeks’ haven proven to be totally unreliable and indeed dishonest borrowers (of your money)?

Yes, some debt will probably have to be written off. Do you think voters in lender countries (plural!) should have a say on that?

So I’m still not sure what your point is apart from expressing what I suggested at the top. What would you like to see, and why?
