Default Berlusconi's agony

today in italy has been a proof of instability of Berlusconi's governement. It haven't more the majority who is a priority to govern a country. In fact, only 308 have voted for prove the stability of the majority, the minimum is 314. What do you think about it? this is the ''final countdown'' for Berlusconi? Or not?

It's certainly a stand-off the likes of the Greece no-confidence vote...

I think that any headline over the last few years involving Bunga-Bunga-Berlusconi has made everyone outside Italy think it was the end for him. And yet he's still there!

Berlusconi is an embarrassment and a circus sideshow at this point.

Silvio was wrongly named at birth. He should have been named Nero. If I remember my history, Nero enjoyed a little Bunga Bunga while Rome went up in flames.

The whole Euro debacle is a train crash in slow motion. Why should overseas investors such as China buy Euro sovereign debt from the EFSF when a founding member like Germany refuses to up the cash for this fiasco?

Right now I wouldn't touch EU sovereign debt with a carnival tent pole.

But the Chinese just might....theyv'e got the cash and it might just pay 'controlling' dividends at a time of their choosing in the future.
