The new Greek finance minister, Yannis Stournaras, until recently a professor of economics at the University of Athens, hasn’t learned yet the art of extortion that is required to accomplish anything at all during negotiations with the Eurozone.

Is this a failure? I don't think so - it is already a partial success. Through the course of two elections they managed to reframe the 90 of 300 specific measures that were actually implemented as being "too harsh". Not that the Troika was hoodwinked or anything - certainly they were well aware of all the unaccomplished measures 6 months ago, a year ago, probably longer - they just can't pass up a good waltz
