We keep pushing the minute hand back by a minute per bailout but it's 23:59 and the second hand is ticking and every time the minute hand is pushed back things get harder and harder for their people. You can only push so much austerity on a populace before there is a major revolution, and civil disorder that not even the police can handle. So then the army is brought in, and they face the awkward decision of what side to take.
Yeah I wouldn't be surprised if we eventually see military rule either but what will they do about the austerity measures?

Break free of the shackles and go alone independantly, or continue in the same vain but with a tougher stance?
