Why? Let's look at the facts.Mr Berlusconi will be the next Italian Prime Minister. For the third time since 1994. His personal assets are estimated to be $11bn making him the richest Italian. He is the founder of Finivnest which is among Italy's top ten companies. Through Fininvest Mr Berlusconi who is also the company's main shareholder ownes two national newspapers, several magazines, three private TV channels, a film production company, a banking and insurance company and Italy's top football club AC Milan.
Furthermore his coalition partners are a separatist, Umberto Bossi, leader of the Lega Nord and a Neo-fascist, Gianfranco Fini of the Alleanza Nazionale, the former MSI-DN who supported Mussolini.Would it be far fetched to say that the UK or indeed any other country in the world would allow a, say Gordon Brown, owner of Chealsea FC, ITV, Channel 4, The Times and The Independent, Miramax Films and Lloyds TSB who collaborates with Nick Griffin and a more aggressive version of Alex Salmond to rule its country?
Oh, and did I mention that Berlusconi had to defend himself in court six times against corruption charges?
