The Italian Job

The latest scandal in Italy is  about their flamboyant billionaire Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi,  again he has been accused of bringing the office into disrepute by cavorting with girls young enough to be his granddaughters, at party’s held at his home. His long suffering wife has finally left him and its about time the electorate gave him the elbow to. There can’t be to many country’s in the world where the population would accept their prime minister entertaining prostitutes as a matter of routine. The nudge nudge, good on you mate,  attitude has become an embarrassment for the Italians, The pat on the back for still being so sexually active at 72 should translate in to a kick up the backside and out of office. Amazingly he still has a 61% approval rating amongst the voters, does that tell us something about him or about Italy as a whole.
