Remember that he has a final appeal, which could take some time. Depends when the next election is and who wins it, since I doubt the coalition will break their promise to Napolitano. At least not for the next months.

Letta's constitutional commission is DOA, the proposed reforms will have to go through Parliament instead. Meanwhile PD is increasingly Balkanized and they're electing former labour federation chief Guglielmo Epifani as interim leader till the fall convention. Joke government, and Berlusconi continues to pull away in the polls. Now lead 35-29.

Renzi is willing to run for the PD secretariat. We knew that already, but still Cool.

M5S imploding? That's fantastic news but PD has to capitalize on that properly.

He must be confident about his level of support, since the left-wingers probably aren't amused by such statements. Otherwise Smiley

Berlusconi has been given a 7 year prison sentence and barred from holding public office in the Ruby trial. But of course he'll have endless appeals, and probably won't overly dent his poll numbers either.

Per NYT, apparently a compromise ruling is being considered where Berlusconi can still remain in Parliament.

Berlusconi said he isn't quitting and is committed to relaunching Forza Italia. Full FB statement here. Anything interesting in it, Italian-speakers?

Alfano has told Berlusconi all the PDL ministers are ready to resign if needed, and Berlusconi said he's ready for a new election.

Berlusconi released a video message today strongly implying that he knows he'll be expelled from the Senate, but pledges to remain at the centre of Italian politics.

So the government collapses and Berlusconi forces another election. PD will still be without a permanent leader.

That all depends on how serious PDL is. Unless the Senate committee lets themselves get blackmailed, they'll expel Berlusconi. If they are serious then an election by default, and the PD will need to get a permanent leader immediately.
