Forget the French elections. As idiotic as it ever is to elect an out and out Socialist, even the French right are too socialist for reality. But that isn't the location of the previously slow-motion car crash.

The real and completely foreseeable disaster is the election in Greece. Besides being a signpost once more as to why Proportional Representation is an idiotic way to elect a government, the Greek people have voted against forming one. The vote has been so split that it doesn't seem possible any government can form, let alone a pro-austerity government. There have to be massive question marks now over the ability of Greece to even function as a state and the whole Euro crisis is possible entering its most turgid time.

Scarily enough, we now no joke have a Nazi party in the Greek Parliament.
