So was this just sheer incompetence on the part of the person who should have got the list in? or is this setting up the constitutional crisis purposefully?

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

Re: We Expect Europe... (4.00 / 2)

From earlier reporting by di Gondi it appeared that the person responsible for submitting the lists in Rome was in a snit and deliberately went for a sandwich just before the deadline. It appeared to be part of the typical "pirates maneuvering for advantage" within the pirate band, but...who knows?

As the Dutch said while fighting the Spanish: "It is not necessary to have hope in order to persevere."

That's what happened in both cases. Knifing each other until the last minute. No spirit of party solidarity.

But then Berlusconi's personal political entity is not really a party. It's only glue is his interests.

Yeah, his mafiosi model and associates have much more of a sense of solidarity than his "party", I would suppose.

As the Dutch said while fighting the Spanish: "It is not necessary to have hope in order to persevere."
