Albeit with less than 40% of the referendum counted it looks to be clear that the Greek people have rejected further austerity measures from their creditors the so called Troika of European Commission, European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund.
Indeed there is a split amongst the creditors with the IMF saying that Greece's debt should be largely written off.
Of course the ball is now back in European Union's court, but surely now a dignified arrangement can made for Greece?
I do hope so, because this affair has caused so much misery in Greece.
Well done to the Greek people for refusing to bow to blackmail.
In celebration of this likely victory I'm re-posting Romayne Phoenix's speech last week to a rally in Trafalgar Square, London in support of the Greek government and people.
