What are the odds of another election before the end of the year? Seems likely with the state in the Senate.

Perfect way to give an absolute majority to Grillo in the senate.

He wouldn't be any worse than quite a few PMs Italy has actually had...

Who exactly would he be better than other than the obvious (Mussolini, Andreotti, Craxi, and Berlusconi)?

You just answered the question.

Interestingly that was actually put in place I believe by Berlusconi, as something that he thought would benefit himself staying in power (which I suppose it has helped him at times, but he lost the election right after it was implemented quite narrowly.)

PDL is now saying that the results shouldn't be certified due to the close result.

Oh for God's sake.

This is Berlusconi we're talking about. I wonder what you'd get if you somehow combined him and Norm Coleman.

It is pretty absurd when you think about it that "traditionalist areas" would vote for Berlusconi, Berlusconi isn't exactly the type of guy who epitomizes traditionalism or moral values to put it quite mildly...

Well think of how Greek citizens who live in Germany long term would vote, and it makes sense.

So it seems most of Grillo's support came from Berlusconi supporters in 2008. LOL.
