Comments on: Italians http://www.albazilla.com/2006/04/12/italians the official blog Sat, 10 Jan 2009 00:54:18 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.2 By: Alberto http://www.albazilla.com/2006/04/12/italians#comment-887 Alberto Fri, 14 Apr 2006 12:46:06 +0000 http://www.albazilla.com/2006/04/12/italians#comment-887 It's a pity the article is only in Italian, but yes, I totally, completely agree. And especially with the sentence: "I don't believe that the Italy outside of Italy is left winged. The first vote from the Italians abroad has been against the government, whichever government they would have had"... Now that Berlusconi has been sent home, dignity will be back, but nothing else will change... with a new ex-prime minister.

and it shows that it is not a matter of left vs right… this is nobody’s victory, but at least let’s hope to have some dignity back for our country…

It meant that so many more could vote than before. In Australia alone there was 176,000 people eligibile to vote in the Italian election (it was reported in our news). And if the resulting margin is 25,000 maybe they were the difference!
