Yeah, I've come across that sentiment a lot in the past - even openly racist spiel about Greeks being lazy etc but Syriza have really played a good game and earned a shit tonne of respect across the continent.
They have a long road ahead with a lot of potential for disaster but there seem to be some good minds in power for once. Either way, Yanis is da man.
I think Syriza has been pretty tactical since coming to power. Some real clever moves throughout. One indication of this has been the inability by a lot of Northern Europeans I'm friends/colleagues with to do much more than attack them/him (the most recent claim being he has shown that he cannot be trusted and therefore agreements can't be made with him - a pretty weak complaint, even in terms of ad homonyms). I really hope it works out for the Greeks (and Europe as a whole).
