18. Greece's Left Leader More Than Just 'Sexy Alexi'

SYRIZA's platform still reads like a manifesto of what was, until last week, a group with little chance of sharing power and determining policy.

Tsipras would withdraw from NATO and close its bases, halt repayment of the national debt, reverse privatizations, seize banks, eliminate sales tax and impose a 75 percent tax on the rich.

First and foremost, he would tear up the 130 billion euro bailout that calls for Greece to radically scale back public sector pensions and wages in return for loans to keep the country afloat.

EU leaders say in no uncertain terms that would mean the end of funding, certain bankruptcy and Greece's ejection from the euro, which nearly 80 percent of Greeks want to keep.

SYRIZA officials brush off the threats, saying the EU cannot pull the plug on Greece because of the damage it would do to the rest of the currency zone.
