Aromulus, Sorry mate I was not having a go at Italy but trying to make the point that a strong government inspires confidence in a country.
On a general point though, as you say Italy seem able to do what their population want, Spain (where I live) also do, but why is it that if UK tried to do the things which you quite rightly say Italy does, they would end up in the European Court of Human Rights and have to back track ?
