The Greeks voted no to the European Union's terms, despite warnings from the EU that rejecting new austerity terms would set their country on a path out of the Eurozone. 62% voted "No" while 38% voted "Yes".

    The obvious is that everybody else leaves together.

    Better yet, first rename the old currency to "Greeko" or similar, then leave and create a new Euro.

    The traditional way is simply war. It's been done numerous times throughout history. Drop the arrogant "this time is different" and realize that all parts of the world are destined for repeated wars. They might as well start one while they have a good reason.

    Europe can form a new nation w/o Greece. This was treason when the USA was formed, both ditching the king and again later when the constitution was signed, but that didn't stop anybody. It can work for Europe too.

    Europe can declare an emergency, convict Greek politicians of crimes, and send in German or French commandos to arrest/kill the politicians.
