Is Greece the most powerful country in the world?

The idea that Greece should have a referendum to decide on whether or not to accept the bail-out package from the rest of us has clearly come as a bit of a shock to the politicians who like to think they run the eurozone. So far, absolutely no democracy whatsoever has been introduced to the bail-out process and that, I daresay, is how they expected things to carry on. But the bail-out package comes with nasty conditions - public sector pay cuts, tax rises, lower pensions and the like – that it is hard to see any nation accepting without something of a fight.
