Syriza is ballsy, I'll give them that. Have to see how their gambit works out.

Just wait until they want reparations from Britain and the US for backing the conservative govt in the Greek Civil War.

I want reparations from dawgman for pain and suffering.

"Syriza's grandstanding on the issue can also be read as a savvy move to win over nationalist voters who would perhaps otherwise not favor the leftists. The far-right Golden Dawn party, which has neo-Nazi origins, polled far behind Syriza, but still came in third among the country's many jostling parties."
I am not quite sure how well that work out with Golden Dawn's main demographic...
