Well, we must admit he looks better with his face covered.

[Daphne – Oh my GOD, you people are unbelievable. You just don’t understand representative democracy at all, even though you do nothing but talk about it. This is not about the one-seat majority. This is about somebody using one seat – ONE SEAT – to control the other 60+ seats. The Labour Party and the Nationalist Party, hate them though you will, represent practically the whole of the Maltese electorate between them.]

Bersami cannot form a coalition with Berlusconi for many reasons. The most important being that Berlusconi is not interested in governing Italy he only wants a way out of his judicial issues and to retain power so that the value of his Fininvest stock does not plummet, Also Bersani has Vendola in his coalition. Berlusconi and Vendola can never sit on the same side of the table. As for Renzi, I fully agree with you. Had that loser Bersani not manouvered to oust Renzi then PD would have won with a definite majority. Renzi was definitely the way forward with or without a coalition. As Crozza said, Bersani would have probably lost even if he ran on his own.

Hear hear!

Ok then, we’ll vote AD to smoke pot.

I mean, there was Cacopardo on Xarabank, correcting Peppi to the number of plants people will be able to grow on their balconies.

How this can be extended to coke and heroin is still under study it seems.

Is there an age limit?

And what about the plight of those enslaved in the drug trade?

Legalising consumption keeping the trade illicit, nice.

So, if some 19 year old is arrested in customs, will the police search for injection scars to determine prosecution?

Honestly, AD is your typical radical chic.

Which he won’t, unless it’s on individual issues. Grillo won’t even be drawn into the discussion.

Bersani is being very silly when he rules out any form of coalition with Berlusconi. There’s already internal rebellion in the PD to replace Bersani with Renzi as party secretary.

If there’s someone who can thrash out differences in formalities with the PDL, it’s Renzi, who’s was also in synch with the incredible contradictions local and regional authorities have to face.

The leaders who seem to understand the electorate at the moment are all either mayors or regional governors. It’s the constitution, ‘l’incompiuta’, which needs major restructuring.

The model Grillo’s after is Crocetta’s minority government in Palermo, it seems to hold. How this can be taken to national level is still to be seen.

just play into the PN strategy, and at the same time condemning the PN to become as bad as Labour.

Wrong Baxxter. For starters lets not forget that Italy is one of the G8 countries so not much of a joke. It has a GDP which is equivalent to that of the UK and only slightly lower than France and Germany. And that does not include the underground economy which would probably double Italy’s GDP. Beppe Grillo is not a politician and his plan is to place a number of people in Parliament who are not “politicians” and who will disappear once the reforms proposed by them go through. They are neither Fascists nor Communists and definitely not jokers. Malta voted for Mintoff and is now voting for Muscat, -how is that for voting for jokers? Beppe Grillo is worth a hundred Josephs.- trust me.

Jozef, that’s exactly it. The only problem is that in Italy we now have no government and before they even start to legislate or teven to propose change (including Movimento 5 stelle proposals) Parliament need to pass a vote of confidence. If Grillo votes with the PD then he may already lose some of his constituents. I for one voted for him but would not be too happy if he creates a coalition with Bersani..
