So, Greece said "Oxi" to the EU's/IMF deal on Sunday, and I think it will be great for everyone in Europe. The Greeks will get back control of their currency and can inflate themselves silly, which will make Greece very attractive for tourism, which as I understand is its biggest industry.
Also, this vote may kill radical leftism permanently. This vote has saved the SYRIZA government, allowing Alexis Tsipras to go and act in a very left wing fashion, which will end inevitably in disaster. When that happens, he, his party and his ideology will be tainted so badly that hopefully a free-marketeer will jump up and save Greece.
This also will work well for us in our negotiations, someone made the comment "For the EU to lose one country is unfortunate, for it to lose two is carelessness,", so we'll have a lot more leverage in our negotiations. Finally, it spells the end of the euro, which will save a lot of other European countries from failure, and with the euro gone, the EU may cease to exist as anything more than a free trade area.
So, I think this is great, but many people I've spoken to don't...AIBU?

AIBU?
To feel that the "No" vote in Greece is the best thing for everyone in Europe?
