Economist (November 4)

2010/ 11/ 07 by jd in Global News

For Italy, however, his extended reign has created “a comedy that has gone on too long.” The Economist believes change is needed: “what Mr Berlusconi really offers is not stability but stagnation. Far from steering Italy skilfully past the many dangers that confront it, his government has become almost totally paralysed.”
