The recently defeated government that is responsible for this leaves power next week, by the way.

[Keystone Phil]

Good riddance.

[John Dibble]

Good riddance.

[The Man From G.O.P.]

Sort of wished they would have goofed like this before hand.

[Lief 🗽]

If they had announced that they were doing this before the election, we'd have a Prime Minister Veltroni right now.

Ah, what could have been.

[Robespierre's Jaw]

Why did it have to be Veltroni's party? It seems like such a Silvio thing to do.

Ah, what could have been.

How do you figure?

LOL

He's assuming that Berlusconi's government is already in power and decided to do this.

I figured he might have thought that, but even so, if a government that is expected to lose an election commits a serious faux pas before voting day, how do they then win the election instead?  I'm really scratching my head with that statement.

No, what I was saying is that he thinks Berlusconi's incoming government is already in power, was behind doing this and planned on doing this before the election. Therefore, he believes that if they had stated that they wanted this before the election, they would have lost and Veltroni's coalition would have been re-elected.

[Joe Republic]

Ah, got it.  I guess it helps sometimes when people actually read the first post of a thread - all one sentence of it - and not just the topic title.

Serious faux pas? Wtf? This is what the people want.

[2952-0-0]

As if Italians actually report all their income.

As if Italians actually report all their income.

Or Germans for that matter.

[Lief 🗽]

I was joking that they could have blackmailed the people into re-electing them.

[opebo]

This is great - they should also post all the information about the assets of owning-class Italians, as well as their unearned income.  One wonders if ignorant americans understood how much their master's get whether they would remain so right-wing.
