Edit: this interview is illuminating:

Half way through reading this, and it is shocking stuff. Validates a lot of what MA has been saying about the political elite. Downright shocking if what Varoufakis says is true, and I don't have any reason to disbelieve the guy.

I'm glad that I found this thread. I'm trying to catch up now.

Anyway, I found this quote from that interview particularly interesting:
"So what we have is a non-existent group that has the greatest power to determine the lives of Europeans. Its not answerable to anyone, given it doesnt exist in law; no minutes are kept; and its confidential. So no citizen ever knows what is said within. These are decisions of almost life and death, and no member has to answer to anybody."

This does not shock me as much as how they acted as described in an interview by Yanis Varoufakis. In that they totally ignore any reason outside of their ideology or agendas.
