The "rulers of Greece", as you put it, were democratically elected. They had no less ability to speak for and negotiate on behalf of the Greek people than any future government will have; repudiating the agreements they made announces to the international community that Greece can not be trusted to pay any debts or comply with any treaties. |

Brazil situation is so hopeless that people are just outright leaving (permanently), having given up on the fake democracy that we have here (or at least we HOPE is fake democracy, if it is real democracy some genocide is needed urgently).
Brazillian homes value outside Brazil doubled in value since 2008, and I doubt most of it is inflation.
The only reason I didn't leave myself, is because I don't figured how.
Brazil for example the same party is in de-facto power ever since the military dictatorship ended, despite (or because?) this party is extremely corrupt, and is involved in ALL corruption scandals since they took power.
Currently our election process rely on an electronic urn and some other electronic systems, that we are NOT allowed to see the source, or do penetration testing and whatnot.
There is no proof (or counter-proof) if the system really works properly, or not.
We DO have some testing done in machines made by the same manufacturer, those tests proved that cheating elections is extremely easy, and in our case if the cheating used the previously mentioned exploits, there are no way to find out (our elecronic ballots just give you the final result, there is no way to individually count the votes, so the machine can count the votes in whatever way it wants, without anyone knowing, beside the programmer of the method).
