When you hit hard times, it is time to pawn or part with the family silver – and an unprecedented clearout is now under way in Athens.
Greece has announced it will sell anything it can do without – and in the case of the debt-choked nation that means letting go of islands, royal palaces, prime real estate, marinas, airports, roads, the state-owned gas company, lottery and post office. Indeed anything, really, that can be sold.

Unfortunately, the Greek system gives the party with the largest share of the vote an extra 50 seats just for coming first, otherwise,in a country with a relatively sane electoral systems such as our own (ha ha!) there would have been either a hung parliament, a minority coalition, or an anti-austerity block government. New Democracy won 29% of the vote, SYRIZA won 27%.

[quote user=DigitalAntichrist] ^ The anti-austerity parties as a whole came out on top (54%). The austerity parties managed to gather only 41% of the vote. So... you're wrong.
