of Greece
<http://topics.nytimes.com/top/news/international/countriesandterritories/greece/index.html?inline=nyt-geo>
talked with pride about how his leftist Syriza party rejected “the
mentality of establishment parties” and provided space for the diverse
views of its members.But last week, Mr. Tsipras ousted members of his
cabinet

who had defied him by voting against the package of austerity measures
that Greece
<http://topics.nytimes.com/top/news/international/countriesandterritories/greece/index.html?inline=nyt-geo>’s
European creditors had demanded as the price of new bailout
negotiations. To Syriza members of Parliament who voted against that
package and are threatening to oppose a second bill scheduled for a vote
on Wednesday, Mr. Tsipras has made clear that he might call a new
election and replace them with a slate of lawmakers loyal to him....
"Mr. Tsipras, 40, may still be refusing to wear a tie, but otherwise he
has moved a long way toward the mainstream...."
