The two "mainstream" parties of Greece have been spanked hard for their mutual support of banker imposed austerity measures and asset stripping by foreign creditors. ( And when the people in this country figure out what has happened to them, a similar rejection of bankster-owned mainstream parties will also occur.) Greece is headed for chaos probably until members of one of the mainstream parties -the PASOK hopefully- repent publicly for licking Angela Merkel's riding boots and repudiate their national debts as they must. The race baiting antagonist of the French social security system is out. It must be remembered that the French Socialist Party is not very leftwing, (nor was PASOK which nominally is Socialist) but France will no longer be Obama's accomplice in Afghanistan, the onslaught against the safety net will be slowed if not stopped, and the austerity regime "Merkozy" were imposing on Europe at the behest of their banking sector handlers and controllers will have to be softened.
It remains to be seen whether this revolt will escape the clutches of banker instigated counterrevolution. The elites will shift resources into backing xenophobic far right parties and attempt to regain control of the situation by misdirecting the popular anger. But the people have finally swatted away the flawlessly manicured hand at their throats, and that is a necessary and positive first step without which no progress can occur.
