"Italy of Values" is a member of the center-left coalition. It tends to lean more toward the center than the left, hwovere. It's members are mostly ex-Christian Democrats, like most of that which passes for "center" or "moderate" these days in Italy.

Lately, is has been stressing the importance of "the moral question" in Italain politics. That is, it is focusing on eliminating precisly the kind of things I wrote about in the diary as well as other froms of corruption from the Italian body politic.
