De facto dictatorship being approved in Italy
on: March 23, 2005, 10:18:39 am
The actual ultraliberist and xenophobe italian government has just passed 43 amenments that effectively removes the check and balances from the constitution.

All attempts from the opposition to stop this crime were vain, the last hope is the referendum but it will be facing 90% of media under control of prime minister berlusconi.

It seems that some people never learns, we're going to get something very close to what happened 80 years ago, democracy falls for the second time in Italy.

Amen

whats an ultraliberist? I'm assuming you don't mean ultraliberal.

Its a shame, though. When does Berlusconi's term end?

edit: oh and, would you happen to have a link to a news story or something of the kind?

Great :doubt:

Just what we need.
Spoon - I stand in awe by your flawless fredding. Truely, never before have I witnessed such magnificant display of beamz.
Axem -  I don't know what I'll do with my life now. Maybe I'll become a Nun, or take up Macrame. But where ever I go... I will remember you!
Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.
Quanto - I for one would love to lend my beautiful singing voice into this wholesome project.
Nuclear1 - I want a duet.
AndrewofDoom - Make it a trio!

Nah, all you need in that regard is a media which is publicly owned by the country rather than ruling party, and which is legally bound to be neutral.  Like the beeb, for example.

The (potential) issue with privately owned media, of course, it the bias of the media owner.

Bobboau, the problem comes when you sum up public and private media control in oner person.
Kinda like if Murdoch became president of the US, only worse.

Sorry, bad translation on my own end.

An ultraliberist is something like Margaret Thatcher... Extreme laissez-faire economy, only that in fact here we got more taxes...

Berlusconi term "should" end in 2006, until then we've got 6 channels out of 7 controlled by the same person.

Ah, P2...
The greatest massonic lobby ever made in italy.
It was a big shadow organization in the seventies and eighties who almost rivalled with the government power and had strong ties with mafia.
Berlusconi was a P2 member but escaped the consequences thanks to his political ties.

Sounds almost like Libertarianism, but only following the economic precepts in theory, and by the fact they just approved a de facto dictatorship, holding the political concepts at about the same distance the Soviet Union did to the concept of an ideal communist society.

I hope this means we'll still be able to eat Italian food.

Hmm.

In 1776, the thirteen colonies rebelled against King George beccause he had been growing more and more distant from their concerns.

In 2004, we re-elect one President George Bush, who promises more restrictions on citizens and less accountability for the government.

Hmm.

Once again, reasons for a moon base. Of course, you can construe almost anything as a reason for a moon base.

Today we have the media to distract us from our problems...
Just have the people debating to some so-called "moral issues" on which they have no control and they won't think about the country problems...
It always work.
