I know it's going to have some negative effects on economies of European nations... but I still kinda want Greece to finally fall.
1) They voted in a radical left govenment they know will make negotiations with the EU harder.
"Democracy" in Europe. We don't like your government, FALL.
2) TThey have the highest social spending in the EU and they still have the audacity to tell us that cutting back on this is unacceptable.
Proof or not true. And even if it is, maybe it's necessary, because we have 26% unemployment rate, and a staggering 70% in youth. Should they just die?
3) Their government keeps demanding more money despite not doing ANYTHING their benefactors wanted, so even if they get the money, thir economy will crash regardless, justa few months/years down the line.
Right before Tsipras got elected, all Europe was congratulating Greece (even Mr. Shauble) for the biggest reforms a developed country has ever done in such a little time. We also got from a 15% deficit to a 2% surplus. Try doing that in Germany, Netherlands or any other country; with a 26% loss in GDP.
They don't deserve their second chance. They got themselves into this and we need to show everyone in the EU that the "We threw all our money away, now please give us some of yours" approach will not work.
Let them fall.
The media in your country must be good. They are probably high-fiving each other now.

Before Tsiparas was elected, things were getting better...
Maybe not for the people, but GDP was stabilizing and the government had a surplus.

I know, and I wanted the previous government to go on for 1-2 years at least, for us to stabilize. Instead, EU "ordered" another batch of austerity measures for a petty 1 billion Euros hole, making things very hard. Not to mention ND's campaign for the elections was "vote for us in order to stay in the Euro". The people here are fed up with this, as shown in the recent referendum.
After Tsipras came to power, both sides took it to the extreme, with the Greeks and the Greek economy suffering the most from it :(
