    The pro-bailout New Democracy (23.2%) party has overtaken Syriza (22%) in a new opinion poll in Greece. Election rules give the victorious party a 50-seat bonus in Parliament, so even a tiny victory margin is significant in determining who forms the next government. Markets are pricing in disaster. What if things continue to muddle along?

  • Agreed. We have been muddling along a year in the hopes the banking sector gains enough strength to absorb the losses.

  • I think that even if the pro-bailout parties win the elections, Greece will still exit the EUR. The problem is that they will break every single term of the bailout (as usual), the Troika will get fed up and stop making payments. Then Greece will have to start a new currency to be able to pay salaries and pensions.
