Berlusconi wins…
…well he still could. It seems that Berlusconi wasn’t satisfied with the results that saw Prodi win the lower house by 0.1% of the vote (a margin of 25,000 votes) and only just gained the Senate. Silvio is know pushing for a recount.
The grouping that wins automatically gets 55% of the seats - a new reform that is supposed to create more stability in Italian politics….i find it quite amuzing that they got rid of the first past the post system for this election and reintroduced PR. PR’s not known for its creation of stability.
This fiasco is like Florida in 2000 all over again…but without the hanging chads.
