The whole thing is held together with a roll of sellotape and a couple of rubber bands. The German elections are on in a couple of weeks, and it could all begin to unravel very quickly afterwards.
Whoever is Chancellor is going to have to tell German taxpayers and savers that they are all on the hook for loan guarantees to Greece and elsewhere. Merkel has been doing her damnedest to avoid spelling this out prior to the election, unsurprisingly, because she agreed to it but doesn't want to suffer the likely electoral consequences. |
If Germany pull out it seems likely that the Eurozone will collapse with all the consequences which that entails.
