the new greek government allmost walked away several times. they dont fear the default. the old greek government, well they allready feaed for their lives after crashing the country.

If they didn't fear the default they wouldn't have put it to a vote, they are well aware of the catastrophic consequences and want to be able to say that the people made the choice to take the pain. Don't get me wrong, long term (in a couple of decades) they can come out of it far better and healthier, but the short term pain will be very real and very harsh.

they want a better deal from the troika, and they want it in public because some people in the troika are full of shit.

the vote is the best way of getting that.
