It will be difficult for Berlusconi to rule five years with a majority of seven seats in the Senate.

He designed a law to favor the loser and now reaps the fruit having won.

I thought the law now provided for the winning coalition to receive a minimum of 340 seats, to 277 for the runner-up, regardless of how close the voting tally was (with the remainder of the seats apportioned based on the expatriate vote and from Valle d'Aosta).

Is that not correct?  340 would seem to give a decent margin in the lower house; the Senate could well be another story, though.
