Don't go into government just to break your promises solely to get your jaxy on a seat. <br /><br />Many people saw the Syriza retreat coming. It was always on the cards that they were going to do nothing else but shaft the poor and implement austerity. They knew they would not stand up to the Troika but lied that they would just to get elected.
