The government must secure a vote of confidence in Parliament. Any other development would see the country enter very turbulent waters. Prime Minister Antonis Samaras and his cabinet must again try to win the trust of those who voted for them in 2012. A two-speed government whose members are constantly bickering does not inspire confidence.
