I doubt it. Remember that a slim majority voted for a wishy washy
coalition just to get rid of that guy. More hate him than love him.

They did when they elected him too. I never met an Italian, who admitted to
being pro-Silvio. It's a bit like looking for somebody in UK who'll admit to
having supported invading Iraq.
The Independent that has bored me to death with their campaign to get UK out of
Iraq, is now complaining that if UK leaves Iraq the locals will be in the shit.

" Basra: When the British leave, who will replace them?
Britain's withdrawal from Iraq's second city is being seen by some as
'criminally irresponsible' "

So what does that make the editor who campaigned for so long and so hard for UK
to leave Iraq?

It appears that the possible options are a new Prodi government or new
elections.

It doesn't appear that the President is willing to have Berlesconi
without new elections.

It's just the circles you hang out in. There are plenty of Italians
who are openly pro-Berlusconi. I even know one woman who says he's
handsome.

He doesn't want to have new elections until the election law is fixed.
The election law was devised by Berlusconi to screw the left, but now
everybody agrees that it is flawed.

I too have met plenty that openly love him. I can't quite figure out
why given his track record.

If she did, that slight bit of plastic surgery he had wouldn't help
when he's naked.

Sorry for the mental image.
