A vote on austerity by the people? Sure, they'll vote for lower pay, job loss, and higher taxes.

It all depends on the question. If the question is, "would you prefer to accept a bailout, along with higher taxes and lower benefits, or would you prefer the country to go bust and be unable to pay teachers, fire-fighters, police and benefits from tomorrow?" then the answer could be very different to one you might get otherwise.
