Succinct Argument for "Yes"

Constantine Alexander, a Greek butcher and somehow also the Executive Chairman of the Balkan Economic Forum, made a fair arguments for voting to stay in the Euro by quoting Nelson Mandela:
"If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together."
Going fast meaning running into austerity fast. The Greeks have quite a bit of leeway if their leaders choose to act seriously (relative to Puerto Rico, whose structural problems make it much more difficult to maintain a currency peg with the dollar).

....On second thought, it may hint to deeper troubles in Greece when a Chairman of an Economic Forum is also a butcher.
