Leave the Eurozone? What is the preferred currency? The North Korean Won, the Zimbabwean Dollar or the Somali Shilling?
Good news for environmentalists though - it would be a pretty effective means of getting all the cars and 4x4s off the road as you wouldn't be able to buy a spoonful of petrol with a suitcase of New Drachma notes. Not such good news for employment of course...
Marx would be pulling his beard out in despair.
