Italian General Election 2012 ?

I like to think people won't be that stupid.

If they let Greece fail, the rest of the EU probably won't have the power and authority to prevent anyone else from failing too.

That might be harder than it looks.

What's that? Putting a leash on Lega Nord? Of course it will be difficult. I'm just saying that it should be done.

The problem is that they might respond to leashing with 'fyck off'. As you know.

Sure. Then they get to spend every government from here until the end of time out of power.

Uh, no. Just the one term. Two years after the election, they're back in on their own terms.

What do you mean?

Back in the main right-wing alliance. The separate ways election being, of course, a more-massive-than-necessary Left victory.
