It seems that the only option of the lenders for the moment, is to keep injecting small frequent doses to Greece just to prevent permanent default. Meanwhile, they hope that SYRIZA coalition government will lose progressively a significant percentage of its current popularity among Greek people, through the continuous propaganda.
Then, they could bring on surface scenario 2, or something close to it: “SYRIZA will not gather the required percentage to form an autonomous government. As the options are limited in the political anti-austerity front, it may be forced to cooperate with the Socialists (PASOK), which may be presented with a more populist profile to persuade that they start to abandon neoliberal ideology, and the River party, which is clearly a creation of the media to attract voters from the Left. These systemic parties will try to control as much as possible the coalition so that some basic 'achievements' of the Greek experiment will not be threatened. Subsequently, these parties may be used to destabilize the government by breaking the coalition.”

Would've been much easier to shove a military dictator at them if they were Latin Americans or Africans. A bit harder when the IMF is hitting closer to home. Still, it's not like pro-capitalist media hasn't been ignoring the fact that hospitals are running out of aspirin, or that doctors are turning to prostitution.

The only slaves who are happy, are the crazy ones.
From what I've been gathering it sounds like the people of Greece are just not going to be blackmailed by the cool-kids club -- 'Grexit' will always be an available reply, and hanging onto Syriza just to prevent the other, corrupt parties from getting any footing seems to be the smart play here.
