Italy Is At It Again

Italy's "form of government" is actually to have no discernible form at all.  Italy in short couldn't govern its way out of a wet paper bag.  Supposedly elected Italian governments are to serve 5-year terms but that has only happened once since 1945.  And now things just blew up again, when the EU is still grappling with the fact that there is only one really strong government and economy in their midst...Germany, who can't be expected to carry all of Europe on its back forever.

As  much as I detest political parties in the US, it is even worse in some other countries!
