So for those who didn't know Syriza have somewhat abrogated responsibility, and have called for that thing that is utterly anathema to the EU - a referendum.
Quote:
Greece's prime minister has called a referendum on 5 July for voters to decide whether to accept a bailout deal offered by international creditors.
Alexis Tsipras made clear he was against the "unbearable" bailout plan.
Parliament is debating whether to ratify the vote, and some queues have been seen outside banks in Athens.

Well played Syriza, and I can only wholeheartedly approve of taking this to the people, however I'm not so keen on that Syriza are abrogating responsibility somewhat for their manifesto.

Predictable panic at this display of direct democracy in defiance of the Troika. Ball just got thrown well and truly into their court and the referendum can't happen until after Greece have defaulted to the IMF.
