Re: Italian Elections Open Thread (4.00 / 7)

As you all know by now, Veltroni conceded defeat and congratulated Berlusconi for his victory. Bertinotti has resigned as head of Rifondazione. Boselli has also resigned as head of the Socialist party.

Berlusconi has won in all key regions and will be able to govern as he so wishes.

Details of his win will be definitive later in the night.

My Italian friend is almost weeping. I guess I'll go find him a drink now.

You have a normal feeling for a moment, then it passes. --More--

Well, my guess is, he is not the only one, this is depressing. Though there might be some funny moments watching the two superegos Sarkozy and Berlusconi fight for the central place in the limelight.

Veltroni would at least have been a ray of hope.

Damn.

If only Blair hadn't resigned, we'd have a full set.

Thanks for your invaluable work on this.

But my God it's depressing in the end.

Forca Corporazione rules...

One country per election. How clueless or corrupt oppositions can be?
