Greece Could Implode the Second Bailout and the EU by Mid-June

The following is an excerpt from my latest issue of Private Wealth Advisory. In it I outline how Greece’s parliamentary election could break-up the Second Greek Bailout as well as the EU by the middle of June.

While most of my analysis so far has concerned France’s elections, it was in fact Greece’s May election which proved more significant for the future of the EU.

I do not want to delve too much into Greek history and political parties. So I’ll simply show the results along with the names and brief descriptions of each party:

Party Beliefs Number of Seats
New Democracy (ND) Old school center right, one of two major parties 108
Coalition of Radical Left- Unitary Social Movement (SYRIZA) Progressive, socially liberal, popular with youth 52
Panhellenic Socialist Movement (PASOK The other one of the two major parties, socialists. 41
Independent Greeks (ANEL) Right wing, anti-austerity 33
Communist Party of Greece (KKE) Communist left 26
Golden Dawn (XA) Neo-Nazis, expel immigrants and set land mines on Turkey border 21
Democratic Left (DIMAR) Leftist, pro-democracy 19

Here’s the current Greek parliament in graph form:

The take home point here is that there is NO majority in the parliament. And by the look of things, there won’t be until run-off elections in June.

Syriza, the second largest group, refuses to take part in any coalition that will demand more austerity measures (it also wants to reject the terms of the second bailout entirely). The Democratic Left, which could form a majority if it teamed up with New Democracy, says it won’t join any coalition that excludes Syriza (knowing that Syriza is popular with Greek youth who are the ones that tend to riot and burn buildings down).

I realize this is getting complicated. The take-away item that is most important is the rapid rise in popularity of the Syriza, group, which is completely anti-austerity and anti-bailout (the party tripled its vote in the last election).

Indeed, Syriza’s leader, Alexis Tsipras, (the former mayor of Athens) didn’t even attend Monday’s coalition talks and says he will take no part in any discussions of bailouts. Young and completely fed up with calls for more austerity, Tsipras is seen by many Greeks to represent real change from the more established (and corrupt) Greek bureaucrats who continue to fall for the “austerity in exchange for more debt” trap pushed on them by the EU.

Tsipras holds the key to any potential majority in his hands. And he has every reason not to allow one to form right now: if a coalition cannot be formed, then Greece will hold run-off elections in mid-June (possibly the 17th). Current polls show Syriza could take as much as 27% of votes in a run-off. To put this in context, New Democracy, which took the most votes during the first round of the elections, only accumulated 17% of votes.

Greek parliament rules hold that the winning party receives an additional 50 seats. So if Syriza takes 27% of the vote it’ll get up to 128 seats in parliament. Throw in an alliance with the New Democratic Left and Syriza is essentially the majority party.

In plain terms, by mid-June, Greece could very well be controlled by an anti-austerity, anti-bailout party that wants to completely do away with the second Greek bailout (which means a potential disorderly default).

This actually is the best possible outcome for Greece as the alternative is outright anarchy. Remember, Greece has gone through two Governments since its Crisis began: one was the long-standing President, the other was an EU-appointed bureaucrat.

Put another way, Greece first rejected its own Government, then it rejected its EU replacement. And now it cannot even form a majority in its parliament. This is extremely bad news as Greece is only a few steps away from total anarchy and chaos.

After all, if Greece cannot form a government… who will be negotiating on its debt/ bailout agreements/ etc. with the rest of the EU?

On that note, we likely have a few weeks and at most a few months before the EU collapses. So if you are not preparing for this, YOU NEED TO DO SO NOW.

With that in mind, I’m already positioning subscribers of Private Wealth Advisory for the upcoming EU collapse. Already we’ve seen gains of 6%, 9%, 10%, even 12% in less than two weeks by placing well-targeted shorts on a number of European financials.

And we’re just getting started. Indeed, we just closed our 58th straight winner yesterday: an 8% gain.

So if you’re looking for the means of profiting from what’s coming, I highly suggest you consider a subscription to Private Wealth Advisory. We’ve locked in 58 straight winning trades since late July (thanks to the timing of our trades), and haven’t closed a single losing trade since that time.

Indeed, we’re so concerned about what’s coming that we’ve re-opened the $249 subscription price on Private Wealth Advisory for one final week. We The stakes are simply too high for investors not to get access to information that can help them navigate the coming Crisis.
