Greece

Tsipras is a genius politician.  First he won the election, then the referendum, and finally the votes of the opposition in parliament.  Now he has "united" the sentiments of the greek population.   And Europe happens to be still so romantic about people power.   Not only has Tsipras won Greece but also the leftist sentiment of Europe.  Having said that the latest proposal submitted by him is an indication of pragmatism after all.  By this weekend we will all know what is real politics or realpolitik, and Tsipras will make his mark in history one way or another.
