The Italian Fiasco

Beppo Grillo, Campaigning on the final day of elections

Centre-left leader Pier Luigi Bersani says Italy is in a "dramatic situation" after election results that leave the country in political stalemate.

But Mr Bersani, whose coalition won most seats in parliament, did not identify a preferred partner in government.

He said all political parties should take responsibility for the country.

Centre-right leader Silvio Berlusconi said earlier fresh elections should be avoided, and called for a period of reflection, which correspondents suggest could mean he is considering a very awkward alliance with his opponents on the centre-left.

Another option could be a coalition with italian comedian Beppo Grillo, advocate for leaving the Euro, gaining 25 per cent of the vote would surely not be appropriate in government?

What is certain that his successful election campaign proves that there is no confidence in Italian politics.
