Berlusconi is back at Italy's helm
Piotr Kowalczuk is delighted that Italy appears to be on the way to becoming a two-party system. "The costs of politics are the highest in Europe, because the permanent crisis has been prolonged for fourteen years now by the same arrogant and corrupt political caste that can only agree when it comes to fixing its own stately salaries. ... If the Italian state wants to find its way out of the crisis it must subject itself to a painful major overhaul. State structures must be strengthened and the costs of politics reduced. The creation of two moderate and significant blocks provides a unique chance to remove the extremists that have specialised in political blackmail from the parliament. There is also the chance that after the next elections a two-party system will emerge in Italy."

The elections in Italy
"If Berlusconi loses, the Italian Left will collapse like a house of cards," Piotr Kowalczuk predicts. "Prodi's coalition is a melting pot of parties and groups that have only one thing in common: their hatred for Berlusconi. When there is no one left to scare voters, a war will break out. Prodi's coalition is an unbelievable mélange of Chrisitan Democrats, reformed and non-reformed communists, anti-globalisation activists, liberals and anarchists... If Prodi wins, Italy will inevitably swing to the left, weaken its ties with the US and strengthen its ties with France and Germany. And its friendship with Putin's Russian will continue to flourish, because the Italian Left's love for Russia is programmed into its genes."
