Yes, they probably will be but the people seem to be aligning themselves with Tsipras and that will give him the "room to maneuver" that you seem to think he lacks. He will be able to fight the Troika and their neo-liberal policies. The EU's leverage really came from the fact that Syriza had not yet consolidated power in Greece. Now they have.

Yeah it seems a significant section of the population has kept faith with Syriza.
