Hollande has won, change is afoot in Grece, Labour has wiped the floor with the Tories.
Is this the end of austerity? Can Germany/the bankers really keep demanding the dominance of the 1% in the face of the electoral might of the 99%? The 1% can cook the books al they like between elections - but the problem with democracy is that even when you strike up deals with the media magnates - or they are the same person, as with Berlusconi - sometimes those pesky plebs just won't vote the way they're told. 
Now, the markets could bring down Greece. But France is another matter. The markets don't really wish to bring down all of Europe, surely, or where will they live in their nice penthouses and chateaux? Obviously, they are not bothered about what happens in Greece, far away from their backyard. But France?
We live in changing times.
Any thoughts?
