If Europe says no to Greek voters’ demand for a change of course, it is saying that democracy is of no importance, at least when it comes to economics. Why not just shut down democracy, as Newfoundland effectively did when it entered into receivership before World War II?
民主选举很少能像希腊的例子那样给出如此明确的信号。如果欧洲对希腊选民改变政策的要求说“不”，就无异于表示民主毫无重要性可言，至少在经济上毫无重要性。为何不干脆取消民主，就像纽芬兰在二战前进入破产接管时所作的那样？
