Greece's finance minister resigns after 'no' vote

Greece's Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis said Monday he is stepping down after his country rejected the bailout terms demanded by Athens' creditors in a referendum.

Varoufakis said he was resigning because he was "made aware of a certain preference by some Eurogroup participants, and assorted 'partners,' for (his) 'absence.' "



He announced his resignation in a blog post on Monday.

The rejection of Sunday's vote increases the likelihood that debt-wracked Greece will exit the eurozone.

A newly-empty slate - a clock reset to zero.

Where's all that gamesmanship, Yanis?

"Game theory is based on a very unrealistic assumption that the motives of players are all fixed and they are all selfish. I don’t believe that anyone’s motives in the eurogroup are fixed, and I don’t believe anybody is selfish. I think we are perfectly capable of rising above our perspective and embracing the perspective of Europe."


What a wanker!
