Italian Election and money

Currently, the Italian elections are at a deadlock, and the possibility of a hung parliament is very likely.

Berlesconi lost the lower house but won over many elsewhere, while Pier Luigi Bersani won the lower house but did not win over senate. Beppe Grillo won 25% of the votes. Grillo i a comedian first and a politician second. Prime Minister Mario Monte came fourth with only 10% of the votes.

As many can see, Italians are in a state of confusion over just whom they wish to lead them in the 21st century. It's not surprising, given that they are still knee deep in a massive recession, a recession brought on by the lack of care of the former President, Silvio Berlusconi. It is surprising that this man is not in fourth place given his blatant disregard for the laws of Italy and for the care of the Italian people.

Perhaps Grillo and Bersani can form a coalition goverment :D

From Italy to the UK, we are still in a state of recession - some people calling it a triple dip recession, some people saying we are on the verge of a triple-dip. We are definitely still in recession. Peopl in the UK are starving to death thanks to the cuts and 'austerity measures' of Cameron and Osbourne.

Why can they not learn from their mistakes and lower VAT, force the oligopoly of petrol powers in the UK to lower their prices and watch as people refound confidence to begin spending once more. Until the public has enough confidence to start spending the economy will not move. We have already lost our AAA rating for borrowing etc, an influx into the system could see us regaining this rating, increasing confidence in the UK financial markets.

As usual, when the Conservative party is in power, the poor become poorer.

Two things political

Saw this article and had to laugh. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-21302065. Have young people never had it so bad?

Really? ok, so they quickly wipe out/ignore the two WORLD WARS that happened, killing millions of young globally, not to mention the Falklands War, which kiled many in the 1980s, or the Vietnam (but it is focussed on UK youths).

What it should say ishave white young men never had it so bad? And I would further pecify middle classed. Because working classed folk have always struggled. Any non-white families have struggled in the past 60 plus years (in UK) and women have struggled for ?? who knows how long.

The article focusses on fnances and jobs. I don't agree with the air of'blame the olde generations' that this article portrays. Not one bit. Times are hard, just like the were in e 1980s when the last Conservativegovernment was in power. Tory gvt = hardshp for the majority. They are every bit as elitist as they were a hundred years ago. This is hat happns when they are in power and I have t say tothose bleeps whovoted for them and now regret it - suck it up. You made your bed, you lie in i. Problem is, tey forced it on the rest of us (Scotland and Wales,who did NOT vote conservative) not ssure whether N Ireand did or not).

I cannot blieve that the young of today blame retired people fortheir problems - that's trying to say that young people are stupid, ignorant and blind, which I do not think tey are. I do not own my own home, I am in my thirties. Should I bame my elders? Hell no, I blame poor governing, as I should. We are in this state because our government let bankers do whatever the hell they liked without any fom of regulation.

It's about time students/youths stood up to be counted, and marched on Westminster instead of blaming the elderly - many of whom are in the same financial boat as they are.

The other thing I wished to express my feelings on are the fact that Cameron is trying to 'force' his party to vote for gay marriages. I have to say its about time this Empirical party came into the 21st century. Does it relly harm anyone if gay people marry? No, of course it doesn't. Those offended simply need not attend gay marriages.
