My prediction being young alexis at syrizas winning the election or holding the whip hand in any coalition.
Then with the stark reality of sitting on his new throne with some 70% of Greeks wanting to hold onto euros and confronted with an ECB threat of ending liquidity in the whole Greek banking system a "smoke and mirror" EU can kicking deal with be done with Syrizas that pacifies the equilibrium.
Yep..... the game of Euro Jenga will be kept going for another few years....
Alexis Tsipras the final casualty at the end of his term....... maybe one way or the other anyway......

No chance (imho)
Greece will be accommodated once more

so a very real prospect, China has been taking over the world for years now. And they deserve to, they play hard ball at home and abroad. True survivors.

'Beyond the specifics, I was struck by the mismatch of expectations in the room between largely centrist, or centre-right mainstream economic thinkers, and a man prepared to say: end austerity, promote co-ops, rebuild the welfare state and workers’ rights, kick the IMF out of EU decision making and slash back the power of a political oligarchy that has gotten rich throughout every crisis'

hmmmm. I doubt that cockroaches (ultimate survivors) have any concept of those but it seems absolute that as a society progresses, it starts to treat itself better,.In future years, China should become less autocratic.
