Reread the second sentence in my post above. An electorate's responsibility does not end with the selection of the rosiest-sounding promises.

To be fair, a default is not a rosy scenario by any means. It's the Troika that is trying to extend and pretend here.

The fact that Greek representatives acted in a manner that's the complete opposition of what they claimed they'd do once elected means that the country isn't that democratic. Thus, you can't implicate the people for voting on them.

Whatever scenario those politicians sold (and I have no idea what they are) are not relevant. They promised specific actions, and they broke that promise.
