It has to do with an integrated economy in which if you see a crisis in Greece taking place, that can affect world markets.
In Greece you have a highly organised Pasok political elite that has already done one inner-party coup without collapsing.

By dint of being in Greece, you suspect, they make it into the Lib Dem list that I'll sub-title "the list of areas outgunning us economically but somehow sound as though they shouldn't".
