We used to in the late 90s.(have a health debt/gdp ration that is)
I clearly remember both David Cameron and Vince Cable warning several years ago, well before the credit bust and while Tony B Liar was prime minister, that Mr Brown was running a 'credit card economy' and that it would all end in tears; nobody took much notice except Gordon Brown (who studied 'History of the Labour Party) who told Mr Cable (who has a PhD in Economics), quite literally 'you don't know what you're talking about'. Nobody took much notice. In election campaigns the Conservatives repeatedly warned that the public sector growth and the growing personal and public debt would cause trouble further down the line, yet people put Labour in power three times in a row.
So have the Greek voters done anything more stupid that the British electorate (or indeed some of the Greek voters and some of the British voters)? I don't think so; I think they've been shafted by the same people, in the same way, for the same reasons but just a little bit more effectively.

Not really the same is it.

Of course SOME people in Greece have done things that are irresponsible or corrupt, just as SOME people in the UK did too; maybe there was more of that going on in Greece, but to simply claim that a whole population was on the take is silly and doesn't get anyone any closer to solving the problems.
