How do you feel about the referendum that Tsipras has proposed? I think it's terribly misguided. For better or worse, the government was elected to negotiate on behalf of the people. The people aren't policy experts and have had no say in the negotiations. It seems irresponsible to me to make them the arbiters of where this saga is going to end up. Of course, there is an argument that the people should have the ultimate say, but to me this decision feels more like a way for the government to wash their hands of the consequences of a bad decision.However, the Greek people are not making this easy on the politicians and financiers, and it's not their job to, but it will be their consequence to live with.
