dream you are right... a very strange day..... depite all the worries expressed here nothing happened
my thought still holds... there is a pressure building up here that is going to have to let off steam at some stage...
if i can explain that thought... the extreme left after a five year right to extreme right wing government got a central left supported by extreme left government in place... the one thought paramount in their minds was a change... but it hasnt happened... in fact the workers are worse off... so something or other is due to happen because you cannot repress the elements here of the extreme left for ever...
maybe it was all just too predictable that vicenza and the americans was going to be the breaking point... its not actually that i wish something would happen... well in a sense i wish it would happen sooner rather than later...because the longer things go on this way the harder the fall... i just find that in my mind its got to happen... much like the riots in the UK in the very depressed areas after thatcher...
another thing i might add... just to sort of explain my reasoning here... i dont find either prodi or berlusconi that attractive... i hate for instance the rights fornicating attitude to both the vatican and the usa... much as i hate the prodi approach to the sort of PLO arab and pro russian/anti usa pro france stance....
i actually think that if the DS and the AN leaders could get it together to somehow despite their past history manage to sustain parties that were capable on either side...right or left to get voted in as serious goverment majority elements then italy would be so much better off... they seem to be the only two parties from either side that seem to be able to reason beyond the dogma of historical burdens on both the left and right here that would maybe allow italy to move forward beyond arguements of either facism or marxism... two elements that in most of modern europe have long gone past their sell by date and are so marginalised that unlike here they have no relevance at all in modern politics....
