I don't know what he thinks personally - I understood he was speaking as co-leader of the Greens/EFA in the EP. They seem to have agreed that their communication would focus on "the failure of neoliberalism and deregulation", which is a big, clear point that doesn't seem easy to deny at the moment, rather than to argue against propping up the banks, which could lead to complicated technical counter-arguments and certainly be opposed by the general agreement that the economy would grind to a halt if not.

But this is my imagination at work, they may simply be incapable of conceiving of an alternative.
