As said above I've not been following this that closely but the can only imagine the utter delight of the big parties here with the gigantic stick they now have to beat the lefties with.
I'm generally quite left leaning but have little doubt that all this is showing the likes of the AAA(genius bit of re-branding from the Socialists) and others up for the sloganeering bluffers that they are. At the very least a country should be able to expect that the people they vote into power have some degree of a plan moving forward based on the claims they've made. Throwing around claims like, "we're going to end austerity!!" are understandably palatable for people as we've all been hit pretty hard by austerity measures in varying ways but as soon as anyone asks "How?, And then what?" they're boned and they now have the wonderful mess of their comrades in Greece to be used against them (rightly so)
