Richard Owen in Rome
Romano Prodi resigned as Italian Prime Minister last night after only nine months in office when he lost a key parliamentary vote over the pro-American pillars of his centre-left Government’s foreign policy.
President Napolitano accepted Mr Prodi’s resignation, but may still ask him to remain in office if the parties in his coalition can find enough common ground to carry on. The Prime Minister and the President will meet today, together with leaders of the factions in the nine-party coalition, to seek a way out of the crisis. ... http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/europe/article1421385.eceThe rest of the world can get rid of their leader as easy as losing 1 Senate vote.
While in the US, nothing ever changes. In 2008 I'm willing to bet that King George
goes kicking and screaming into the night.
