I think this is the sign of a leader who knows his bounds - the Greek parliament were elected on a campaign to reduce austerity measures. For them to now go ahead and impose further measures would be a clear violation of the trust the electorate has placed in them. I wish more political leaders would recognise that they're answerable to the electorate, and put more controversial laws to a public vote instead of just imposing their will.
