Polling day
The Italians go to the polls today.
Will they see the light and "sack Berlusconi", as The Economist put it on its front page? Sadly, I doubt it. For all the moaning that Italians do about Berlusconi, they seem to really love him. He's like the J.R. Ewing of Italian politics – except, as far as I know, no one has ever shot him.
In some Italian circles he's commonly known as "the evil dwarf".
Trouble is, this evil dwarf wields a shitload of power.
It makes me proud to know that Tony Blair is such a good friend to Berlusconi and Bush. The unholy trinity. Let's hope Italy can succeed where the UK and the States have failed.
For more on this and other Italy issues, including the struggles young Italians have been facing for the past few years with their country's equivalent of the employment laws currently causing uproar in France, see Beppe Grillo's blog.

Hmmm. He is a corrupt old fart and make no mistake. I cant help but wonder if the election will be rigged. Thats how Dubya got elected in the first place, and rev Blair only got 37% of the electorate to vote for him.
Not that we live in a true democracy though.
"Berlusco" keeps saying that the election will be rigged, and for sure he'll make a lot of commotion is he doesn't win... but it's far easier for the incumbent to rig the vote than it is for the opposition. (Exception being Georgie Porgie, yes – but he had his brother helping out down in Florida, didn't he?!)
We'll see...
I meant "if [not is] he doesn't win", obviously.
That'll teach me to hit Preview first.
