Hmm, I want to join the action in this thread, but am not sure exactly how to proceed. Hmm. Well, I like Mario Monti. When The Economist and L'Obsservatore Romano agree on something, I can't say no. Seems to have his head screwed on right, economically and socially. He's an economist, and as a wannabe I have a soft spot for economists. One of those "serious people" oakvale is always harping on about. He also seems to be trying to recreate Democrazia Cristiana. Not sure how that's going to work. As for the PDs, I'm not sure how to approach Bersani, he seems to come from the old-school Communist tradition and would be more of a Hollande type than a moderate like Prodi that came from the DC. I was hoping Rienzi would win, because I don't really have much faith in Bersani. Berlusconi should really go retire. He's openly a farce by this point. I'd like to see him win just to laugh at Italy, but I like Italy too much.
Hey, whatever happened to Fini's party? Where'd it go? Is it any sort of neofascist? Or have they finally given up on that? I've always thought it possible to look at post-Mani Pulite Italy from the pessimistic perspective of having a bunch of ex-Communists and ex-Fascists running the show in some bowdlerised Wiemar.
