Imagine. On election day, May 6 or thereabouts. Britain has been called to the polls. Once there, check out the ballot and there is despair. Labor,
yawn! Conservatives, Ronfi ! Who wants Gordon Brown or David Cameron at the helm of our country,
if their interests are just political
? Then, delete all names and write others in their place -
stars of the show, media moguls, racist, singers to cruise ships, playboys, philander, criminals, tax evaders, things like
. People who make Britain more fun.
Then, after counting - predictably, it must be said - no one has obtained an absolute majority. Hey, no problem, the Prime Minister can 'be a workplace that can' be accepted. And so May 6, 2010 or so elect Rupert Murdoch
,
Peter Stringfellow ("I guess this will be a stable Parliament" he begins with this remark), Jane McDonald
,
Bruce Forsyth, Ron
Atkinson, Lord Ashcroft and the Kray twins to lead our country. The Krays are dead? Well, the other can cover them, that God take care of their souls. Right, the government also need to choose the candidates MEPs. Rupert chose a few waves from Page Three , Peter takes some of its dancers lap dance prefer, Jane, who has traveled a lot, 'she decides to go. Ah ha! This beautiful, Jane! Seriously, I love, but beware! You have almost 40 years! In its place we take the last Big Brother Shilpa Shetty

away from his hometown for 20 years, tries to go back to find out how the hell did to become a clown leader of a European democracy in the twenty-first century . To be honest, Franchetti's approach is much better than the one described above: it speaks with many people from all sides, and looks to the context history in which Berlusconi came to power, it is a fair and balanced reportage . For the viewer, however, what comes out is one thing that makes me shudder. Not that you knew already: the control of the media, the alleged connections with the Mafia and corruption, links with the extreme right, processes, legislative changes, and the escort girls, the operations of plastic surgery, parties, gaffes, shown disrespect to Angela Merkel, the name "tanned" referring to Barack Obama. That's right, when you are presented all together, you fall for the arms to the ground. But how the hell did this happen? And again. And again. E 'was elected three times ! "For 15 years, Italians have supported with their vote Democratic," said a young member of the party. "There are two explanations: either the Italians are stupid and not aware of who they are voting for, or for 15 years have continued to trust him." I'm not sure that both are mutually exclusive, right? B exists thanks to A. And not all Italians, only a large part. Or maybe the Italians are a very forgiving people .

Berlusconi, conivolto in a sexual scandal and ongoing struggle with the judges, has seen its popularity grow after the attack. But corruption scandals and bungling on the electoral roll for the regional elections, recently gave a boost to
slide down his position.
messages, coming from Italy whole, but also Vietnam, have tones of defiance - "Show them that you're indestructible" - despair and sentimentality - "Please, do not forsake us, and if you can, cloned!" - border on hysteria.

ELECTIONS THIS MONTH
With the book in stores just as Berlusconi tries to mobilize voters for the vote of 28 to 29 March, the left-wing daily La Repubblica held an election gimmick
and he mockingly called "The Little Book white Silvio
Ceausescu.
" It must be said emphatically that this book is mostly a flyer election pure propaganda on glossy paper, " Francesco Merlo wrote in the newspaper. In the preface to the book, Berlusconi said that solidarity was shown that allowed him to address all "slander, libel, false accusations " that he faced during the year and that the book is born by his desire to give messages of a certain recognition. "Just think that in the first two days after the attack I received more than 50,000 messages via internet, fax and centiania bouquets" Berlusconi wrote. "All the leaders of friendly countries
called me. And there was a continual pilgrimage, first to the hospital and then at the family villa in Arcore."

Posted by Reuters on March 16, 2010 Article in English on www.reuters.com Share Berlusconi,
met a Mafia godfather
ask for protection. This is revealed by evidence gathered over the years by various prosecutors. Mafia informers say the meeting took place in Milan in 1974, when Berlusconi was already a wealthy industrialist the offices of the companies it owns. Informants have reported that Berlusconi meeting 'Stefano Bontade, then one of the biggest Mafia bosses,
because he feared for the safety of his family in the days when
in Italy was plagued by the phenomenon of high-profile kidnappings. Francesco Di Carlo, one of the henchmen of goodness which is now in prison, told prosecutors that he was present at that meeting. Berlusconi says that he asked for help to ensure that 'he will' her children might be abducted by other mafia clans.
According to the testimony of the henchman, Bontade gave his word that he would personally ensure the safety of insured Berlusconi. In return, Berlusconi said that he was the godfather "
to him for anything.
" Now Senator, Dell'Utri was sentenced in 2004 to nine years imprisonment for aiding and abetting the Mafia. He denied the charges and appealed -
is still a free man, according to the Italian judicial system. Dell'Utri Berlusconi denied he had met Bontade. But prosecutors believe the evidence of Di Carlo, who was supported by another Mafia boss, also a turncoat. "From our point of view,
Dell'Utri has very close relations with the Mafia
. It acts as an ambassador for the Mafia, by its interests with those of industrialist more 'rich in Italy." said Domenico Gozzo, key figure in the trial against Dell'Utri.
"Instead of going to the police, Berlusconi turned to Dell'Utri when I start 'to worry about his safety. He asked his friend to find a solution. Dell'Utri did just that during his meeting with a Mafia boss, Stefano Bontade, which also participated Berlusconi. Bounty promised to send a parson to protect Berlusconi and his family. Why? Why
Berlusconi sparked the interest of the Cosa Nostra
, first as a businessman, then as a politician. " Immediately after the alleged encounter with goodness, who was killed in a mafia clan feud in 1981, Berlusconi assumed Vittorio Mangano, a mafioso . The work of Mangano Journal was to manage the luxurious mansion of tycoon Arcore, outside Milan. He lived in the villa of 145 rooms for two years, accompanying even Berlusconi's children to school.
Prosecutors suspect that Mangano was the man who had promised Bontade Berlusconi to protect him and his family , in order to send a signal to the mafia that Berlusconi was under the direct protection of the Mafia. Berlusconi and Dell'Utri
claim that they were unaware that
Mangano was a criminal. However, Mangano was arrested twice while working for Berlusconi. "Mangano was already 'a criminal with several precedents when Berlusconi hired him," said Cropper.
In 2000, Mangano, who was serving a two-year sentence for drug trafficking, was found guilty of double murder. He died before going on appeal. Berlusconi and Dell'Utri have
always painted as a hero because he refused to bear false witness against them. "Mangano has always behaved well with us," Berlusconi said in 2008.
"He had some trouble with the law, but I am not aware that has ever been judged guilty," he added, referring to the fact that Mangano the appeal was never heard .
The prime minister has never been accused of criminal association with the Mafia. Goitre and other judges have sought to question him about Dell'Utri, its alleged ties to mobsters and
some funds invested in its businesses , but Berlusconi has chosen to remain silent, citing his right to do under Italian law, the which was also held other repentant Mafiosi who have confirmed that the alleged mafia Forza Italy. The latest accusation dates back to last December and Joseph Spatuzza, a mafia hitman, now in prison, which killed 40 people and eliminated his rivals dissolving in acid. He told investigators that Berlusconi and Dell'Utri
had contact with the brothers
Graviano, two Mafia bosses.
Berlusconi, 73, has angrily rejected all suspected association with the Mafia and
claims to be victim of a conspiracy orchestrated by red robes. He recently said that no Italian president has done more than him to fight the Mafia
"Since Dell'Utri which has come on the scene Mangano, Berlusconi has put in the hands of the mafia, "said Marco Travaglio, a journalist of the trials against Berlusconi. " Cosa Nostra is not like a taxi you can climb, pay the trip, and get healthy. Once you're up you can not get off. Berlusconi is terrified that his past could return to the surface .
