South american (none / 0)

From "la Repubblica":
Luigi Pallaro, eletto in Argentina, ha infatti già annunciato che darà il suo sostegno alla maggioranza.

The independent South American won't interfere in the governemt building.

By the way, Prodi wins anyway.

Crazy elction days...

Almost (none / 0)

we have to make sure the 7 forever and ever senators do nt get in the middle. If we can count on three this means we need a 5-1 distribution of seats...Hold it a second

A pleasure

Re: South american (none / 0)

More exactly:
His political philosophy:

Luigi Pallaro, a businessman, is campaigning as a one-man party to represent the Italians of South America. "We can't afford the luxury of being in the Opposition," he says. In other words: "Elect me and I'll join the winners."

So, Colman, go out and celebrate...

But it will be a wild ride for Prodi, if he ahngs on lifelong senators and pallaro.

An interesting name by the way: out of the blue, I can think of at least 5 "giochi di parola" with it. Good for the newspaper editors...

Re: South american (none / 0)

Now it says:

"Il sesto eletto è un indipendente che avrebbe annunciato l'adesione all'Unione."

He now joined L'Unione! It's 159:156, and even if only 3 of the life-timers support L'Unione, it's 162:160 in the end!
