[Colin]

40% want Prodi to stay as PM. 39% think Prodi's government will last a few months while 22% think he'll remain as PM for a year or two.

I'll give this government about 9 months to a year if the left is still rather uncooperative with the overall agenda of the Prodi agenda. If they get more into line behind the government then I could see him finishing his term.

Prodi survived tonights vote in the senate. 162 voted for the government, 157 against. Let's hope that the commies behave.

Oh, and the next time the Afghanistan vote comes up, Forza Italia and the AN will vote for it so that those two archpacificists can safely vote against.
