You're getting me excited, Malaise. I've seen four "opinion" polls that cautioned readers that they weren't exit polls.

Can you confirm a legit exit poll?

Fugg neoliberalism indeed

This was from a phone poll done during voting.

However "No" is currently leading with a 10% count completed:

60.49% OXI!

so far, the lead is slowly widening. 2 districts that were "yes" changed to "no" within the last hour. the entire country, at the moment, is OXI.

oops. forgot the link:

It will cause them a ton of pain. There is only about 600 million euros in the banking system and they are not going to have access to any more. It's going to crush them. I feel sorry for them.

It's gonna hurt either slow or fast, they are choosing fast by voting no, like ripping off a bandaid

Since they voted no, there is now only a limited amount of cash available per person. How are they going to get the basis necessities? This is going to be awful. Like people starving, breadlines, rioting and looting awful.

and it was a huge majority who voted no - all fundamental change comes with pain.
The austerity model does not work for anyone other than banks, corporations and the 1%.

Bravo Greece!
