   Seriously Nabil? Not sure where you saw that… Yes men are the clear majority according to all the sources I’ve referred to..

   I’m with you Gerry and based upon article can’t see more than 80 defectors particularly given the 2 party P’s are urging a yes vote. Anyway if they vote no how do any of them get paid post 20 Mar? In euros I mean.

   hmmm, vote yes to get the bailout and later on down the line not implement the measures or some twist like that.

   bullish for the euro at first until the reaslisation is is too late then bearish.

   Based on all the articles I read, the MPs will vote ‘yes’. Of course, this is not a guarantee that they will implement the agreement. Actually, the likelihood of them implementing the second agreement’s terms is nil, bearing in mind that they still haven’t fulfilled the requirements of the first bailout deal.

    Evening All…….Looks like there’s gonna be lots of smoke and fire in Athens tonight!!!

    The thing is I expect it to be a yes, but unfortunately I also expect Athens/Greece to explode by the means of protest and unrest, in the end resulting in a factual no.

    It will be a yes. About 40-60 no’s “counted” so far, for the law to pass they need absolute majority among the ones present (max 300). So they need a max of 151. It’s a yes.

    The question is, can euro rally while everyone already think there will be a yes?
