    It's not about crushing the "capitalistic system", nor about starting a revolution, and a "no" wouldn't accomplish that anyway. The aim of the government is to remain in the Eurozone but to negotiate a gentler deal with its creditors. Whatever the outcome, the situation will continue to be very painful for Greece.

    As I understand it, the referendum isn't about whether Greece should stay in the Eurozone, but purely about whether the bailout should be accepted. Following a no vote, Greece could still hope to achieve a new, gentler bailout agreement, or perhaps default while remaining in the Eurozone if that is possible.

    Greek Referendum: the vote is today

    Greece is now voting to accept or reject the bailout terms proposed by its creditors. Alexis Tsipras supports the "NO", and hopes that a clear rejection would allow him to come back to the negotiation table. However, many fear that he might find the door closed, and that such a vote would cause Greece to be excluded from the Eurozone.

    Plenty of migrants who managed to enter Europe are now trying to enter the UK (for various reasons : they might have family/friends/relations there, or simply because they are english-speaking). Those migrants end up gathering in Calais, at the entrance of the Channel Tunnel, and try to somehow get inside trucks or trains...

    This creates a difficult situation for France, who regularly claim that the UK should bear a larger part of the costs.. whereas some in the UK fail to see why migrants in France should be their concern.

    It probably won't happen until Snapzu gets larger and needs external funds to further its development. Then investors can ask to have a say in the decisions, which is reasonable but risk to be the beginning of money-driven actions.
