Funny, the left leaning political party in the US is regularly "in bed" with the mafia too.  I'm sure this doesn't mean much.

Now, if it was the conservative party in either nation....or Jews were somehow involved....then...then you'd be on to something.  But this?  Nothing to worry about.

In Italy, all parties are in bed with the mafia. Left or right, though generally more right-wing or centrist/Christiandem.

the liberal party is the more conservative party not the left wing one you really should try not to confuse liberal with the left as liberal means economic liberalism which is not a left wing ideology.

The Liberals are the right-wing party, not the left-wing party. Labor is the left-wing party.

Well color me corrected.  I blame the conservatives in the US for turning "liberal" into an insult and confusing me.

     I guess the mafia isn't that bad if it's associating with the Australian Liberals.

Sorry, I read Austria not Australia. Australian Liberals are not fascist.
