Tell you what? I am damned happy to see the defeat of Berlusconi! I never liked that guy. Can´t help myself, but he behaves like Putin for me - in other words, like a pseudo-democratic wanna-be dictator. I don´t think that a Prime Minister, Chancellor or President should own the most important nation-wide TV stations or newspapers, and his scandals of the past make him even more suspicious. I haven´t heard anything that could present him somehow honest.
Oh, and finally, because I know I soon have to defend myself against allegations of being anti-Italian, anti-American, anti-Bush, anti-Iraq-war or at least pro-Schröder: I am not. I just can´t stand corrupted politicians, and I don´t think that the Left will do much better in Italy, but I personally dislike those people.
