He is a self-serving plutocrat who seeks to abuse his power to further his own tawdry designs and even subvert the justice system in order to overt legal punishment. Italians should be very concerned indeed: they have a wolf in sheeps clothing in their midst! He can change his looks but not his nature.

Berusconi won, in Italy because italians know what beautiful person he is. You said that the TV and media empire works for him, but this is not true, infact, the president of Mediaset isn't Silvio Berlusconi: he only founded it. If you follow some programs on this television you can se that they are the first people that joke him. Moreover in italy because of the presence of the Mafious clans, the Magistrates se everywhere mafious. This is a understandable reaction. But berlusconi has been judged innocent.

And I am so happy to read some intelligent comment, finally!!! I tell you even among educated people nobody seems to be conscious of what is happening in my country. When I spoke with my friends they only talk about the mistakes of the left party and they say that this is the reason of BerlusKa's victory. For me the "real" reason is, as Philip Stephens says that Berluska " built his shady financial empire upon political corruption, malversations and obscure ties with P2 lodge (a shadowy Masonic organization) and Mafia". Veltroni in his campaign said "we don't want Mafia's vote" " http://it.youtube.com/watch?v=PWU6n3WOWmk Do you think he had any chances after this sentence? In USA people like him get killed. In Italy there is not need because people here, after 20 years of Berlusconi's TV, is so well brain washed that they didn't even understood the importance of Veltroni's statement. Every body sleeps here....and after this last Berluska's governament, his "job" will be completed.... I am so depressed! Roby I agree with all your comments.

The picture of a great disinformation system is correct ,not last being our PM minister the owner of plenty of TV channels and newspaper media . Instead the biggest problem ,in my opinion,is the great ignorance of Italy as a country . The evidence is the percentage (around 10 %) of full analfabetism of our country ,not counting the "returning analfabets" ...Moreover the rate of people with a degree is among the lowest in Europe. This is a very fertile ground for a perverse deal between citizens and politics (left and right are ,sorry to say,perfectly the same) . The end result is a blocked,hopeless country that is predated easier than perceived . We give credit to people like Grillo,just an opportunistic very ignorant person (formerly a comedian,nowadays just a person riding the italian autolesionism),this is a great evidence of an ill system.
