If Greece disembarks from EU boat, it may become crisis for d boat.
Alexis Tsipras could quit as Greek prime minister if the country votes for a bailout proposal he rejected.
European leaders made clear they could yet save Greece from economic chaos, but there would need to be a political earthquake in Athens first.
A resignation by Tsipras could be such a big event. On Monday night in Athens, Tsipras dropped heavy hints that he may indeed quit if the referendum he called for July 5 goes against him.
"If the Greek people want to move ahead with austerity ... for young people to move abroad in their thousands, for us to have unemployment and for us again to be moving towards new programs, new loans... if that is their choice we will respect it, but we will not carry it out," he said in an interview with Greek TV.
"I am telling you that I cannot be a prime minister under all circumstances."
Greek banks were shuttered Monday in a desperate bid to prevent financial collapse. And European leaders stuck to their position that Greece was on its own, at least for now.
They're furious that Greece walked out of talks Friday. Tsipras announced a few hours later that he would urge Greece to vote against the proposal they were still discussing.
