this is hard... i am Italian i was born in Parma. people say that Prodi won. there have been stolen votes and i think Berlusconi should win. OK, what has Prodi done for Italy... nothing! he just steels. Berlusconi has done so much for Italy. he brought TV to Italy and has done so many things for the people. he also did the best law anyone could have done for workers. if Prodi wins, he will take that law away, not because its bad but just because Berlusconi made it. another unbelievable thing is that the communists got so many votes, why do they do this to Italy? i saw TV in this program about the elections and the candidates on Prodi's side were fighting ALREADY! that is insane! they are not gonna last one year in the government. they say that many Italians that left will go back to Italy if Prodi wins... i DONT think so!\n\nabout the mafia guy in southern Italy... i dont know

The Italian government has helped the development of the southern region by:\n\na. decreasing taxes throughout the nation. \nb. refusing to join the European Union. \nc. building new schools and hospitals. \nd. decreasing the nation’s foreign debt. \n\nIt's one of these.... Do some reading and you will find it.

Silvio Berlusconi. But I think they're due for another election very soon. Italy goes through Prime Ministers more quickly than most countries except Japan, though this guy has been in there for awhile now.

Given the way Italian coalition governments tend to operate, I'll be surprised if he lasts for *one* year.\n\nSilvio Berlusconi is the exception to the rule, and a lot of his success has been involving adroit political maneuvering.  I don't think Prodi has the capability to follow Berlusconi's methods.  And with the likelihood of this being a razor-thin margin means the slightest real upset could very easily force the government to call for new elections.  Italian governments are not known for their stability.

That he's way more socialist-leaning than Berlusconi.\n\nI really hope Prodi understands the threat of terrorism like Silvio did.
