Listen you..............
Dealing with Greece is like dealing with a recalcitrant teenager.
This is the story so far. Eurozone chiefs (mum and dad) say to Greek political parties (child), in order to get your 130 Billion (pocket money) you have to agree to do this that and the other.
Given that there will be new elections next year, we want all political parties to sign here (give me your solemn word) so that there will be no deviation at a later date. If you fail to honour this agreement then no further bailout (pocket money) will be advanced. Amongst the conditions that we have agreed is that you will start to collect tax from your citizens and industry (get a paper round) and stop telling lies (or you will get sent to your room). If your behaviour improves in the future you can expect to receive your next tranche of bailout money (pocket money). The decision is yours, go away and think about it.
The country has a choice between economic ruin and (shock horror) collecting taxes. It needs to join the real world and needs to stop lying to the world and its mother.
I know what I would do.
