...Because that's what these elections are all about, really.
Except for two things, probably known by many but nevertheless confirmed for all:
a) By his own admission, the Greek minister of finance is a failure ("If there were need for new austerity measures, that would mean I've failed". There is a need, so he has failed.)
b) Greek politicians, municipal or other, could not give a damn about their country: while new austerity is in the making, NO GREEK politician has even intimated at Public Sector unemployment (i.e. eliminating useless parts of the public sector -- committees, obscure agencies, 2004 Olympics agencies, etc).
The brunt of the austerity is borne by the private sector -- what little is left of it.
Oh yes, this past weekend the second round of municipal elections was held in many municipalities in Greece.
It was a glorious, sunny week-end in most parts of the country and children & civil servants had no school Friday preceding & Monday following.
