One proposal is a caretaker technical government for a year then elections again.

Above all the left should stay away from any such proposal if they want to have a chance in a year.

A democratic system which require caretaker governments or new elections as long as the government does not have a majority in both houses is, imho, quite absurd. No offence meant.

What are the pros of the Italian system?

By the way, it seems very tight in the Camera. We might be landed with another period of Berlusconi rule (the horror! The horror!).

Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.
