There is much suffering in Greece and I do not think it is appropriate for anybody to lecture the people of that country on the way they vote. The way they vote is purely a matter for the Greek people. The kind of bullying we are seeing and the intimation which is being brought down on the heads of the Greek people as they face a fresh set of elections underpins much of what is wrong with Europe. A lot of good comes out of Europe but there is a very dangerous almost anti-democratic sentiment at the heart of much of what some people in Europe stand for and it should be faced down by all those who want to see democracy thrive and what is in the interests of the Greek people prevail. Will the Deputy Leader take on board those points?
