The uncertain political ramifications surrounding Greece and the euro "We shout outside parliament, we call the politicians thieves and traitors, but they don't take any notice, they just go on letting us down," said Alexis Anagnostopoulos, an unemployed welder, after hearing about this week's plan by George Papandreou, his prime minister, to hold a referendum in December on the euro crisis. Yet as it turns out he and other angry Greeks may not even get to vote. A first hurdle was a vote of confidence to endorse Mr Papandreou's proposed plebiscite. By the end of the week it seemed unlikely that his Panhellenic Socialist Movement (Pasok) could muster the required 151 votes and thus that he would even keep his job. After the October 2009 election Pasok had 160 seats in the 300-seat parliament. At the start of the week it had 152, but several more deputies promptly broke ranks. The most likely outcome as we went to press was a new government of national unity, perhaps led by a technocrat such as a central banker. Or there might be a fresh election.
