Dumpty speaks, too

The other unelected president, Dumpty, is better known as Rumpy or Herman Achille van Rompuy (No.3 President is the elected leader of a member state, which from 1st July will be Christofias of plucky little bankrupt Southern Cyprus) . I don't quite know why, but Rumpy Dumpty also got to the lunch G-20 meetings in Mexico. His statement was almost as remarkable as Humpty's:

'Greek voters have made a clear choice about staying in the euro currency, following weeks of uncertainty in the financial markets'

In fact the Greek voters were voting for a ruling party, not whether to stay in the euro, but to this extent they have indeed made a 'clear choice': most of them voted for parties opposed to the bailout.
