Berlusconi 3rd time lucky ?

Tutti,

Berlusconi returns for the 3rd time after this weekends general elections with a convincing victory over Veltroni's centrre left Democratic Party. His "Freedom Folk" party saw a large backing for the extreme right, Northern league....does Bossi never give up.

Berlusconi is renouned for his politically sensitive bluffs (remember the nazi reference to the german chancellor) and the way his previous government let Italy's public finances run out of control, threating the stability of the Euro, (bet their not happy in Brussels today).

With Spain's economy according to the EU stronger than Italy's Berlusconi has a difficult task to maintain his manifesto claims...tax cuts, boost infrastructure, save Alitalia and clean up Naples.

In bocca al lupo.
