Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou has scrapped his referendum on the European bailout. We decided to run our own poll - in conjunction with Political Capital's How Not To Spend It magazine - to uncover what's really at stake for the Greek peeps. To a thoroughly unrepresentative sample of putative Greek citizens we put the following question:-
When you dwell upon your illustrious past what kind of Greeks do you find yourself identifying with?
a) The 300 Spartans at Thermopylae?
b) The treacherous Greeks who'd sooner side with the rich, obscenely generous and fashionable King Xerxes of Persia?
c) The 300 Spartans at, er... Brussels?
The results are not yet in. They might never be. In.
But watch this space.
Et tu, Berlusconi.
