In the news

There's nothing inherently wrong with bankers. Good banks/banking/bankers provide the funding that create trade and commercial enterprise. Without out it this country wouldn't be as prosperous as it is today and the majority of us wouldn't all be living in the relative luxury we live in when compared to the rest of the world.

At it's heart it's about properly managing risk, if it's done well there is no problem.

Maybe, but all this to avoid a refferendum on something that will directly affect the Greek people for possibly generations to come? it seems a bit rash to slot an unelected banker into the position of power right about now...
