Greek referendum: how Athens voted by income

[kNIOKAS]

Guardian published an interactive map, comparing the votes (yes or oxi) in the referendum and the mean income of the area.
[QUOTE]The Greek referendum has been presented as a split between young and old. This interactive map shows how, in the capital at least, it also flagged up divisions between the richest and poorest in society.

Wealthy suburbs in the north such as Kifisia voted definitively in favour of a deal with Greece

Lol. The syriza party pretended they were gonna play hardball, but being the communists they are, they just could not turn down being part of an international socialist federation.

I must say it is amusing to see the Utopian Marxist left now being the greatest threat to the imperial power of the EU, which has always been a utopian leftist project itself. It's like the legacy of ww2, and the decades of propaganda following it that linked fascism to traditional conservatism, has made the idea of conservative patriotism repugnant to many people, and thus it has been unable to gain a foothold in order to challenge the EU consensus - which has basically become the inane ideology of centrism, where anyone who wants to not be boycotted by the EU politburo must call themselves 'centre-left' or 'centre-right,' or suffer ostracism and demonisation. It is generally ignored that the Northern states essentially bribed the Southern ones into subservience and dependece, and now that they are dependent, and have spent all their money on German exports, the North has started to behave in a truly imperial manner, and has decided to play hardball.


Gotta respect Varoufakis doe - not often one sees a politician with a bit of integrity and self-respect in this day and age.

So the Greek Parliament just accepted these ridiculous loan terms that just brought them to the cliff the previous time. IMF already have stated that the loan is unsustainable and they would rather not put money in it, since Greece would have problems repaying it throughout 30 years. Amazing.

PM Tsipras must have told them whatever EU told him that made him reverse his position 180 degrees and completely turn on voters. This is really obscene.

However, it seems there might be some cheap Greece government assets that are for sale now. :rolleyes:
