'Horror Scenario': Fears Rise of a Berlusconi Resurrection

Surely, non-Italians (especially foreign politicians bound by convention) cannot comment or advise the Italian voters whom they should place their democratic trust in?

This is a Sovereign matter and out-with the domain of EU politicians who are not Italian to comment on surely?

Ah, Martin Schultz, the man who gives German politicians a bad name.

It seems he likes Italy about as much as he likes Britain but that doesn't stop him giving his gratuitous advice to all and sundry.

It's a good job nobody's listening!
