Good for them. And for all those getting their knickers in a twist over why oh why did the Italians not make the proper, sensible choice…
Well, what is the proper sensible choice? When you have the Nonsense Economics and destructive policies of The Frau being harshly rammed down your throat on one side, leading to the collapse of your economy and a comedian called Beppe Grillo on the other, or even a degenerate rogue like Berlusconi, which is worse?
At least with Grillo you are assured of a laugh, whereas with the proper sensible candidates the only thing you are assured of is misery, impoverishment and plenty of tears.
The Italians are neither stupid nor self destructive. Quite the contrary. And they have proved it in this first round.
Lets hope they are not forced into a second round, like Greece, where all the senior citizens took fright and voted the incompetent morons in, under the illusion they were protecting their pensions. Only to find out that they were cut even further and now risk losing them altogether.
