I think they should vote No and default - I've thought it was the best option since the start of the crisis. Devalue everything, become self-sufficient, and then reopen for business in a few years.

I think Tsipras was put in an impossible position by the EU, because the EU will not admit that it is impossible for Greece to repay what they owe EVEN with austerity, effective taxes, and substantial growth.
