how much sovereignty did your government sign away in order to recieve this bailout?

OFFLINE

To be honest, looking at what our government did with the sovereignty we had, a lot of people here are thinking it might not be such a bad thing to have someone pulling the strings who doesn't care who went to school with who, or who plays golf with which property developer/banker.... Our government lost its mandate from the people about 2 years ago, unfortunately it was just after the election and their coalition partners have been too spineless/cozy in power to do the right thing and pull the plug.....

Besides, we already knew who was calling the shots anyway when Brussels made our govt hold the second Lisbon referendum because we'd "gotten the result wrong" first time around.
