The Greek Parliament’s vote in favour of austerity measures is unpopular not just with protesters on the streets but with at least one of the country’s most prominent economists.

Yanis Varoufakis from the University of Athen’s Department of Economics says the vote will just send the country deeper into debt.

He tells Phil Kafcaloudes that Greece should default on their loans and the rest of the world should just accept it.
