On top of all that we have the question of how the election of Syriza to form the new government in Greece will affect our election here. If by May 7 the Greeks have been granted no relief we will go to the polls here with a European crisis looming over us. In one way that would help Mr Cameron, for who would prefer Mr. Milliband in No 10 at such a time? Yet it might also be grist to Ukip's mill by suggesting that Mr Cameron would find it no easier than the Greeks to gain anything worthwhile in his renegotiation of the European Treaties.
