Is there an advantage (and possibility) that Greece may leave the Euro for it's currency but stay in the EU to keep the trade and travel advantages.

Greece should never have been in the Euro, but now that they did enter they should have left 5 years ago. They would probably have been over this Whole mess by now if they had.

But given that I loath the Euro and EU in generel its really good they didnt, especially since this might mean the end of this freak currency.

Hey, creating bad Greek puns in English isn't easy, due to how much of our language descends from Greek to begin with. It takes some real talantons.

Spain has an election coming up and it's sounding like their going to follow Greece's lead.

Greece now, Spain, portugal might do the same.  The sentiment is they are fed up with EU, and the EU is fed up with them.  Nice big happy dysfunctional family.

So is this it for the EU? Will it split into "northern" and "southern" tiers, like separatists in Italy have been talking about for years?

Gus, IMHO it's always been like that.  The north thinks the south is poor, lazy, inept and corrupt. The south thinks the north is rich, corrupt, stuck up and full of themselves.  This won't change (I'm not holding my breath).  They have one thing in common - they both think each other is corrupt.
