Ciao!

Berlusconi’s coalition crushed in regional elections, looks like Berlusconi will be the next stooge of the Coalition to be rejected by the governed:
Silvio Berlusconi, Italy's prime minister, suffered a resounding defeat in regional elections that saw his centre-right coalition apparently losing to opposition parties in 11 of 13 regions in regional polls that were overshadowed by Pope John Paul II's death.
No mention is made of the effect of Italy's involvement in the Iraq war on this result, but the Italian people are vastly against the war, and outraged over the Sgrena incident. It's hard to imagine this didn't play a significant role in the outcome.
