Greece is preparing itself for snap elections after the resignation of its prime minister Alexis Tsipras.
Just seven months after he was elected on a a promise to overturn austerity, Tsipras’ resignation comes on the heels of Greece’s third EU bailout. In a television address, the prime minister said he felt “a moral obligation to place this deal in front of the people, to allow them to judge … both what I have achieved, and my mistakes”.
Following his resignation, rebels from Tspiras’ ruling party Syriza announced they were breaking away to form a separate party called Popular Unity, led by the former energy minister, Panagiotis Lafazanis.
We’d like to know how Greek people feel about these latest developments. Are you pleased about the prospect of new elections or do you feel Tspiras should have remained prime minister? If you voted for Syriza seven months ago, do you think you will again? And how do you feel about Tsipras’ record as leader?
