Such a project is the only one consistent with placing D'Alema in high office (ministerial or higher) while Grillo in government with Bersani would sink him without trace. <br /><br />A deal with Berlusconi, of course, would make the PD lose half of its electorate at the next opportun ity, but neither D'Alema (out of self interest) nor Napolitano (in the higher interest of Stability and Europe) give a damn about the PD.

I despair of Italian politics but I do not despair of the Italian spirit and industry - what Italy needs and what Britain needs - to be out of the stranglehold and away from the EU.<br />Italy must re-issue their own currency and take responsibility for its own affairs, then, mercilessly root out the corrupt practices.<br />It's not impossible, Beppe Grillo speaks much sense - I hope the 'brand' isn't tarnished by power.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2956830097495837473.post-90946597041124616722013-03-01T13:14:15.302+00:002013-03-01T13:14:15.302+00:00Brutto e stupido, yet still vain.Brutto e stupido, yet still vain.a musiciannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2956830097495837473.post-9193570318596248072013-03-01T11:33:48.191+00:002013-03-01T11:33:48.191+00:00What Bersani got wasn't just a message.

And for good reason: for 14 months he led the Democrats in a disgraceful complicity with policies that have us with nearly 40% unemployment for the under 24 year-old workforce, outrageous debt financing payments, outrageous debt, collapsing manufacturing industry, living standards of the 1980s, the impoverishment particularly of the old and the young which, with the unemployment rate, covers just about the whole population. He carried on for 14 months, unspeakable man, to earn his 'turn' as he puts it. AND he was ready to continue with Monti and his policies but we put a stop to Monti too.<br /><br />I've not looked into a rhinoceros' eyes, Anon., no.hatfield girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12673905475452420002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2956830097495837473.post-78574720199503524642013-03-01T10:14:10.562+00:002013-03-01T10:14:10.562+00:00Gordon Brown would have struggled on in 2010, some...Gordon Brown would have struggled on in 2010, some men are impervious to the 'messages' that they are sent.<br /><br />Have you ever looked close up and into the eyes of a Rhinoceros?
