Cameron sees Greece leaving euro in event of referendum no vote

British Prime Minister David Cameron said on Monday he thought it would be hard for Greece to stay in the single currency if Greeks voted to reject a deal from international creditors in a forthcoming referendum.

“If they vote no I find it hard to see how that is consistent with staying in the euro because there would be, I think, a very significant problem. But it’s for the Greek people to decide,” Cameron told BBC radio.

He said he wanted to see a deal struck between Athens and the EU for the sake of stability, saying the crisis showed the need for the bloc to be more flexible.
