"Silvio Berlusconi is the real winner." - Vendola

Vendola also said he won't support Letta.

Berlusconi is in Dallas today for the Bush Library Dedication.

I believe this happened while Letta's government was officially being unveiled.

What are the chances SEL joins Civil Revolution? Seems like the a logical step. Vendola already said he won't support Letta. That could have been the final straw even if PD runs Renzi next time (and I believe Vendola has issues with Renzi anyway).

Is this some kind of oriundi collective subconscient? Everytime I have something to say about Italy, either you've already said or endorse it.

Cheesy

Why the hell did Civil Revolution disband? Didn't they stand the chance to seriously benefit from all of this?

Worth mentioning here, too: Giulio Andreotti, possibly the only more controversial figure than Berlusconi in Italian politics, has died at the age of 94.

Will our resident Italians please fill us in on the Rome Mayoral election? Can Alemanno hang on? Is he favored?

Thanks! Would be cool to have someone with a strong Philadelphia connection as Mayor there but I'm hoping Alemanno can hang on.

Isn't Marchini from the right?

Looks like his legal problems still aren't hurting him.

Glad to see Monti's coalition continuing to plummet. Still would like an idea about what he will do. At this point, the 7% has to be the standard total amount that UdC and other centrist parties receive each election. Monti can't be bringing in much of anything on his own anymore. Here's hoping they all run separately.

Haha. Wow. And going to...?

Anyway, a little over a week away from Rome's Mayoral election. Any developments?

The government is aiming for changes to the electoral law to be passed by July 31st.

Which are?

Didn't read. Just wanted to report the headline. I figured you or Tony would give a run down anyway. Tongue

Seven points isn't too bad for Alemanno, right?

Last time around, Alemanno had 41% to Rutelli's 46% in the first round. That race didn't include M5S or other major minor party candidates.

Second projection has Marino up to 42%.

Alemanno obviously needs M5S voters, too, but aren't Marchini voters very likely to go his way? Wasn't he in Berlusconi's government?

I know this annoyed people when I suggested Calcio's role in the Parliamentary elections but could the Final/another Rome Derby have had a big impact on turnout?

I've been told by someone involved in one of the two major parties that M5S Rome will not back Marino and it's a wait and see situation with Marchini. Any Italians here able to comment on that?

So they don't have a good school of boring but worthy local administrators. Hence, if there are no national issues to protest about (aka not the left ruling alone), it tends to implode at local level.

I was going to say, all of these poor local and regional election results for PdL ever since they spiked in the national polling seems strange. This makes perfect sense though.

By the way, Alemanno has said the Derby was a distraction.  Tongue

Well, if you're Alemanno, you can at least be thankful your situation isn't as bad as the Mayor of Viterbo. Without a strong Indepdent running, I assume Monti's party or some local fringe party did very well. Guess most of those votes will flow the the center-right.

Wow. How does the center-right almost gain Siena but get blown out elsewhere?
