Sunday and Monday's election in Italy ended up with no real winner. The center-left (Bersani) got slightly more percents than the center-right (Berlusconi) but no single party or coalition ended up getting enough votes to set up a majority government. The "standup comedian" Beppe Grillo got ca 25% of the votes while the above mentioned coalitions got around 30% each and as long as no one of these decides to shake hands with one of the others (small chance/risks) no Government can be created. So for now, Italy is goverment-less and for how long that will be case no-one seems to know.
I so wanted Monti to end up with more votes so he could end up joining the center-left coalition which for me would had been the only real good outcome of this election. Now there is a risk (quite small anyway) that the comedy star Bebbe Grillo (I rehesitate to take him seriously) joins the center-right side which would be a disaster.
The problem is that the (not very serious) Italy are the fourth biggest economy in Europe and it is therefore also very important for the whole European union economy. I feel sorry for the world being dependent of something as confusing as the Italian election...
What will happen next is so far very unclear... But I do have hope in president Napolitano, that he once again will find a good solution. Fingers crossed.

great update thanks for posting
ReplyDeletewrong interpretations..bad information at all!
ReplyDeleteand a note..how the hell can you ever think that grillo will join berlusconi???
Beppe might be a comedian but he is not stupid. believe it or not he can be the savor of Italy. He will not take part of rigth or left, stai calma.
ReplyDeleteMary! People voting Beppe as he promise changes Italy needs. He should be taken seriously as he is the only one that can fall down politico of Silvio. All young people vote for him and all old for Silvio. Beppe e Silvio will not go together never in life.
ReplyDeletema sempre da dire tu ahahh grande Mary
ReplyDeleteIf you dont take Beppe seriously i dont take you serioualy
ReplyDeleteEuuhhmm... Easy to criticize without leaving your name/s...
ReplyDeleteTo sign your name it takes courage. To leave a comment it takes a while. Even if judging from their English it might have taken quite a while...
ReplyDeletethe only political party that cuold make italy grow is PDL. Grillo is a shame for Italy and Monti it too. you are talkng like you never heard what Silvio Berlusconi is standign for. you just want to hate him like all foreighers does. think twice next time.
ReplyDeleteDear Gio,
DeleteMost of the young Italians hate Berlusconi too because it brings shame to your country.
Anyway, also you sponsored his tiny little parties with the taxes you paid. And you were not even invited! Oh boy, such a shame...
Haha, since when did my "personal-life-blog" become a forum for aggressive Italian politic arguments? :-)
ReplyDeleteMarliina, can you help us to understand the question the whole world is asking themselves: How come so many Italians are so stupid that they once again voted Berlusconi? What do those Italians believe in? A whole country can not be "stupid", they must believe in something none else sees?
ReplyDeleteTack för en bra och intressant blogg!
asking a swedish girl to write about Silvio does not seem very intelligent. what does she know? nothing! all foreigners hates him as they don´t know anything about him. Maria make us the favour and do not write about him!
ReplyDeleteBeppe and Silvio, two clowns
