Elections and referendums are very different things. Especially in European style parliamentary/coalition governments.

A popular referendum leans HEAVILY on one side. 60/40 shows that this issue is very contentious in Greece as well as many Greeks are sick of the poor classes voting in "hand outs" Marxist politicians instead of reforming and fixing corruption, being fiscally responsible, and collecting taxes.
