As party leaders spend their time arguing over who will lead Greece to early elections, disgusted Greeks feel mocked by an infantile political class that has long since lost touch with their everyday struggles.
After three days of squabbling between Socialists and Conservatives over every detail of a coalition government, the mood in Athens on Wednesday ranged from anger and disillusionment to plain indifference.
"I feel disgust. They are mocking us and we are sick of them," said Mary Melenikou, 32, an office clerk. "They are not telling the truth and they don't care about us. They can't agree because they are afraid to take responsibility for each other's actions."
Greeks have watched aghast as party leaders bickered over who might get which job, only weeks before the country will go bankrupt if it does not get a new government to negotiate a financial lifeline from the EU and IMF.
