I'm talking about Berlusconi too, explaining the reasons why imho he would become president of the republic or leave politics shortly after a victory in 2006 provided he continues NOT bending over sideways to help the FIAT like, for instance, Prodi.
Also; it's not "they fdid it too" it's "doesn't anyone else have a problem with the fact our judicial system is letting some people do certain things while making huge media sensations of trying to get someone else in jail for the same reasons" couple with a little "eh, stands to reasons that if the former are in a position as to make a joke out of our laws, and the latter is their main rival, the moment these guys go down, their rival will take their place and magically get away with everything too!"
I'll just point to the case of Fini, his house out of the country, his chat with D'Alema and... Presto! All is forgiven! And Fini is out of the government coalition while remaining president of the chamber!
Well, if only the left was a credible alternative and didn't basically do everything possible to lose the elections (Renzi coff coff) while feeling and acting smugly superior to those that voted their main opponent it would help. It would also help of their program wasn't as swallow as "We're anti Berlusconi and still want to use his laws where it helps us, get over it".
On the Leftist alternative...point, counterpoint and decisive point. You speak truth and it is undeniable. About Fini, remaining president of the Chamber is possible, and he probably was one of the best ones this side of Tangentopoli. The house affairs ended up being mostly unproved, with officials in Saint Lucia being corrupted to scream against him and whoops, all claims vanishing into dust as soon as someone pointed at the chance of said officials being corrupt. No, thanks, I think I will keep a 3-miles distance from everything Il Giornale and Libero tell - just as I do from Repubblica and L'Unità.
