A rigorous poll done on September 15th gives Berlusconi at 60%.
There is an excellent analysis of this phenomenal success this morning by Edmondo Berselli, unfortunately not on line yet.
My comments are ironic but I would not be surprised if his ratings rise further over this. Di Pietro who is the only serious menace to Berlusconi's popularity is at the airport with the workers.
Can the SDL trade union guarantee that fuel will be supplied? That was the reason advanced over the weekend for why Alitalia might not be able to fly already last Monday.
Also, Alitalia could lose its licence to fly due to insolvency. A vivid image of what should exist acts as a surrogate for reality. Pursuit of the image then prevents pursuit of the reality -- John K. Galbraith
Too bad they didn't do that with regard to the Roma.
Basically Berlusconi's primary aim in politics is to set up system to keep corruption thriving.
Yesterday the treasury police raided the central offices of Alitalia and took away all the books. Unfortunately any notizia criminis has been largely amnestied either by Berlusconi or Prodi.
In Italy everybody is both guilty and innocent but above all, it's the other guy's fault.
Whatever, it's the workers getting shafted here.
