GREECE VOTES: Some Of Today’s Twitter Reaction And Analysis

The Economist Intelligence Unit has pinned its colours to the mast:

The EIU forecast victory for the “No” camp as soon as the referendum was called. We are sticking to that call.

But they do not predict a rosy future for Greece in any event:

But whatever the result, the die is already cast for Greece: more years of economic and social dislocation lie ahead. http://t.co/VaxNn8KHHZ — The EIU Europe (@TheEIU_Europe) July 5, 2015

Here’s what analysts at the Royal Bank of Scotland have mapped out for Yes or No victories:

Some are predicting a high turnout (which must be over 40 per cent for a valid result):

But not others:

And others have even started saying the 40 per cent threshold had been crossed:

Solid turnout seen so far in Greek bailout vote: Local media reports that turnout has crossed crucial 40% mark for referendum to be valid. — Holger Zschaepitz (@Schuldensuehner) July 5, 2015

You pay your BBC Licence Fee for exclusive insight like this news which surprises nobody, nowhere:

Greek finance minister @yanisvaroufakis & Bank of Greece to hold emergency meeting with banks late tonight after poll result, I’ve learned

— Robert Peston (@Peston) July 5, 2015

Slightly more insightfully:

Sources: If there’s a NO tonight Greek govt will send negotiators back to Brussels tomo to recommence negotiations w/ eurogroup immediately — Ed Conway (@EdConwaySky) July 5, 2015

Age is dividing some, on the one hand unemployed youth:

Another young Greek said voted ‘no’ because “I’ve got no money, I’ve got no job, the creditors have destroyed us, the only answer is ‘no’.” — NikiKitsantonis (@NikiKitsantonis) July 5, 2015

On the other hand, pensioned seniors:

Older Greeks worried about pensions, savings. One Yes voter: I worked all my life for what I have, I’m not going to let Syriza take it away — NikiKitsantonis (@NikiKitsantonis) July 5, 2015

Some of the usual suspects want their say:

Nobody should be forced to sign their own death warrant. So many Greeks voting no to blackmail and terror. Powerful day #greekreferendum — Naomi Klein (@NaomiAKlein) July 5, 2015

And some seem quite relaxed about it:

Hot day in Athens as Greeks vote in referendum and head to beaches. Lines at ATMs just as long, some longer #Grefenderum — Stelios Bouras (@SteliosBouras1) July 5, 2015

But there’s still time for cartoons:
