Democracy Italian Style: Party Talks Forever
After a nation-wide series of corruption scandals in 1992/93 and an electoral shift that replaced large part of the political class and parties in the following elections of 1994, Italian politics seems still all the same. Fifteen years of discussion and three inter-parliamentary commissions have produced - nothing but mountains of worthless paper. The Italian people and the European partners are still waiting for the long overdue reform of the Constitution of 1948, but parties won't agree, because they fear to lose part of their extra-large power extent. Thus the only institutional change in the last twenty years has been imposed by popular decision through referendum. But even this instrument has shown less successful, as a new referendum held in April was thwarted. Now Italian parties prepare to elect a new State President just the traditional way: let's talk about it!

Italian Government: Another One Bites the Dust
With the resignation of Massimo D'Alema the Italian Republic has used up its 57th government since 1945. Used up is even the prime minister whose nine-party coalition has been quarrelling without a pause for over a year. Now D’Alema has stepped down after the negative results of his center-left coalition in regional elections. The opposition "Freedom-Pool" led by media-tycoon Silvio Berlusconi won in eight of fifteen regions. Berlusconi´s alliance with his former rival Umberto Bossi of the Northern League has worked particularly well in the productive north asking for devolution. A week after D'Alema's resignation the center-left coalition agreed on the previous treasury minister Giuliano Amato to lead the new government. Due to massive party interference the new prime minister, a Socialist, has presented only a poor cabinet and program. Clinging to power, the party leaders of the center-left coalition don’t seem to have the slightest clue on how to prepare for the general elections early next year.
