Greece has voted and, on the basis of early(ish) polls, it looks as if the far-left Syriza has done what it needs to secure an absolute parliamentary majority or come very close.
Panic to ensue.
Fun fact No. 1: Ine of the two sons of Syriza’s leader was given the middle name “Ernesto” in honor of the murderer better known as Ernesto “Che” Guevara.
Fun fact No. 2: The neo-Nazi Golden Dawn probably came in third with 6 percent or so.
I, for one, continue to be grateful that the single currency has proved to be such a bulwark against extremism.
