New Italian government to be 20% less Fascist!
Who was it that rules in Rome? Apparently some guy named Berlusconi, not Benedict XVI. Who knew?
What I find interesting about the Berlusconi government is the fact that he owns something like 20% of the Italian media, and yet somehow there is still a lot of negative coverage of the guy. Does that say good things about either the Premier’s love of Democracy or something else about the limits of the Italian?
Under the terms of the Italian constitution, a prime minister is obliged to resign if he makes major changes to his cabinet.Berlusconi put a brave face on the end of his ambition to become Italy's first prime minister in modern history to lead the same administration for a full five-year term.
5 years trait, eh? I see. Perhaps a change in government every half-decade would be a good thing. And with the Far Left parties and the Separatist party walking out on him, a new government would almost have to be a bit saner than this one, I should think...
