Non si può dire che sulle elezioni italiane l'Economist non prenda posizione:
[..] we continue to think that Mr Berlusconi is unfit to be prime minister,
both because of the conflict of interest arising from his media assets
and because of his continuing legal travails (he may shortly go on
trial yet again for alleged bribery, this time of a British witness,
David Mills, who happens to be married to a minister in Tony Blair's
cabinet, Tessa Jowell). But five years on we have a new and even more
devastating reason to call for Mr Berlusconi's removal from office: his
record in power. [The Economist]
