RE: RE: RE: Thursday, BIG BIG Day...Everything I've read indicates that the German Parliament WILL pass the vote. Don't forget that it's Angela Merkels own party that is the most against having to be on the hook to help Greece.
Her dilemma is that she wants to get a majority vote with only the members of her own party. If she doesn't get it, it will affect her chances of staying on as head of the party and she will lose power (which is the worst thing that can happen to a politician).
The other parties in her coalition government are more willing to help Greece but she doesn't want to have to depend on them.
As you say, Thursday will be a BIG, BIG day one way or the other.
