In Italy the government has fallen, now it seems there's only "one possible outcome" and it's that Lega will merge with the party of Berlusconi, if that happens is going to be 'the worst of the worst', it will be like to return to the times of Mussolini and the "technical" ( i.e. formally never recognized but practically happening ) death of democracy.
S. is talking about "changing the laws so he can have more powers" it's going to become a sort of "1 party and 1/2 dictatorship"
Italy is going to be a place where "you really don't want to be", stay away as much as you can from it !
Despite all that is already happened I continue to hear lot - too many - people supporting Lega, they still think "they are the only ones that can do things" ( like to say that Farage is your only savior of the UK the only one that can fix things, yo figure ).
I'd dare to say "as an external observer and someone that been away from Italy about 15 years" things have changed in a dramatic ways, that's really not the Italy I was born in and what I left, what I am seeing now it's like a place I never tought it could become something like this.
And I still have not a good idea "how we got there" but I suppose it's probably "the final collapse of a system that can no longer 'support' itself".
My bro says in Italy we have 3 things that "no matter what and no matter what government they NEVER managed and never will to sort out" : Mafia, Corruption and Fiscal evasion ( I'd add "perverted justice" as well ).
And it's totally true, "the whole political system is someway based on those 4 things" apparently there's frakload of money in Italy always ending into the same hands and never going where it really should be going and nobody ever managed to sort that out.
What can I say ? Nobody really knows what to do or what could be done, not in a place where "90% of things never are/go the way they really should be" but anyway "I've been there so many times it's old news", just the same things going over and over always in the same ways.
Everyone is waiting for "the big crash" many are kinda wishing for it "to happen soon and happen real good so maybe we can re-start anew again from the ashes" but it's not going to be like that, it never works like that.
Anyway "UK is going like this", "Italy is going like that" , "USA has Mr. Toupee" ... ... I wish there would be "somewhere safer" one can escape , hopefully they'll forget about Wales for a while.
Until the revolts of the farmers or such ... or maybe they'll make everyone and the sheep vanish and pretend it never happened.
