IMO the worst part of the whole sad saga of the past six months is that the Syriza government failed to sway even a single player on the creditor side, and far from being uncomfortable fellow-travellers, all the S&D members in the game (from the Slovakian government to Commissioner Pierre Moscovici) refused a debate on economics and actively played along in the blame game. And blaming it on Varoufakis's style is at best a cop-out (but I more think it would be an adoption of anti-Varoufakis spin). The political elites are a lost case completely (and so is the MSM).
