Quote:

Berlusconi is making a magic trick, which may well win the election for him The magic trick is a change to the election law, which the goverment is passing before the elections. The election law favors the right wing, according to Pavoncello. "The consequences of the change to the election law are very sever for the left wing, because the left wing is more fragmented than the right wing," Pavoncello said in the telephone interview. The electionthreshold will prune efficiently the small parties.

It cannot be, that the ruling part can arbitrary change the election law, according which version suits them best at the moment.. Why anyone even votes for this guy?

Seriously, W.T.F.? W.T.F.?

To answer your question:

IT IS ITALY!

They are not known for strong backbones.
The last time they achieved something great was 2 millenia ago. They also have a culture of abusing their own systems (going back to the Roman Empire and everything in between then and now) so therefore, it ought not surprise you that they are doing it in 2005.
