    Rosemary Hill:

    It's all very well for people to proclaim their pride that "Greece is standing up to the bullies of the ECB, Germany and the IMF". May I presume that Greece won't then be returning to those same bullies on Monday morning demanding yet more billions that we all know will never be paid back? Indeed, the word 'democracy' comes from the Greek. So does the word 'hypocrisy'.

    Here is the question being put to voters - it is not be as simple as whether they want to stay in the euro or not. Instead it asks Greeks to approve or reject the specific terms laid out by Greece's creditors:

    Should the agreement plan submitted by the European Commission, European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund to the June 25 eurogroup and consisting of two parts, which form their single proposal, be accepted?

    The first document is titled 'Reforms for the completion of the Current Program and Beyond' and the second 'Preliminary Debt Sustainability Analysis'. "Not approved/NO "Approved/YES"

    Does that make sense to you? If not, you are not alone.

  9. Greek banks 'days away from running out of cash'published at 15:38

    Robert Peston
    Economics editor

    Cash within the Greek banking system will run out in just a few short days, a senior banking source has told me, amid fears that the financial crisis will force Greek companies to start laying off workers tomorrow. 

    The source also says that bank withdrawals have trebled in recent days:

    People are taking out money around the clock, out of ATMs, on the internet transferring to HSBC - you name it, they're finding ingenious ways to get their savings.

    Nikki Marsh, Santorini, on holiday from Leeds:

    We arrived in Santorini on Monday, and there was no evidence of any issues at that point. I am now sensing that the pressure is coming out to the islands a little. In the last 24 hours we have experienced a couple of examples of people making banners/posters on the streets conveying their voting choice. And for the first time last night in a restaurant in Firostefani, the owner asked if there was any way that we could pay in cash, rather than by card.

  12. How much would a Grexit cost Germany?published at 15:02

    A lot, apparently

    The German business daily Handelsblatt reports on the fears of the head of the Bundesbank, external (in German), Jens Weidmann.

    The newspaper says he has warned Angela Merkel's cabinet that a Grexit would hit the Bundesbank's profits and have a knock-on effect on Germany's budget.

    The bank's losses could top €14.4bn (£10.3bn, $16bn) in the event of a Grexit, he says.

    A lot of people here are quite bemused. They have had only seven days or so to take it all in. It's not a simple general election, where people vote along party lines. They're voting about an issue that will decide the future direction of this country and, to some extent, of the eurozone and the EU.

  16. Student fearspublished at 14:38

    Could a no vote stop Greeks studying abroad?

    Filippos Ershov, an 18-year-old student in Athens, has got in touch to explain his concerns about a No vote and whether this could lead to a Grexit from Europe.

    He's worried that an exit could harm his chances of studying abroad - just another example of the high stakes involved in today's vote. 

    Quote Message

    This is a crucial moment for me not just in terms of how the vote will affect the future of the nation, but also my immediate future. I will be heading off to the UK for university this September, and I am interested in Greece staying in the EU so that I can benefit from the tuition fee status of EU students, which is equivalent to that of UK students.
