I haven't read Peeperkorn's post, but he tends to be very, very offensive. I doubt it's only because he praised Berlusconi.

He claims he didn't receive any infraction points though so it's weird.

Try to read his post quoted in the Goldmine. That guy is hilarious, and in this case it's not for good.

I imagine this local scandal around local councilors in Lombardy is helping. PdL members were originally the target but PD members have recently been implicated. It plays right into M5S points about both major parties.

Comrade Moderator - please: We have had some posts that could have served as entrance point for an interesting debate on the socio-psychology of part of the italian electorate, or just have lead into fruitlless pro / contra Berlusconi ranting.

Why did you remove these posts so quickly, instead of waiting which way the discussion will go?

I have the feeling that most participants here are able to prevent this thread degenerating into an x-th debate on Berlusconi's demeanor.

He actually has been doing that continually in the past few weeks, despite always keeping his robotic monotone.

Take it to a thread about the inferior Southern European country. This is about Italy's election.

I deleted the post because it was vulgar. It wasn't exactly unfunny, but, you know.

He claims that quite correctly.

Speaking of scores:

Italy -  4
Spain -  1

Call me back in maybe thirty years when you guys catch up.

Grillo asked Al Quaeda to bomb the Italian Parliament. Yes, for real.

So we got our answer: Monti and Co. will get third.

Don't be so sure. This might actually help Grillo, you know.

Berlusconi promises to give back IMU to everybody who paid it.

Can we bet on the first municipality to go bankrupt?

Has anyone noticed how Berlusconi bought Mario Balotelli recently for his AC Milan to win the close Lombardy election ? It is thought that the purchase might win him a few points there and therefore the election.

So long as he doesn't win the national vote. Worst nightmare: 2006 scenario reversed.

I only mentioned this twice already.

An analyst suggested he could gain up to four hundred thousand extra votes. Seems totally ridiculous to me but who knows?
