Italy Heads Toward Split in Parliament
Edited on Mon Apr-10-06 09:52 PM by ECH1969
Italy‘s parliament appeared headed Tuesday toward a split between the conservative coalition headed by Premier Silvio Berlusconi and one led by his center-left challenger — an election result that could stall the formation of a new government.

The Senate and lower chamber of parliament have equal powers, and any coalition would have to control both in order to form a government.

A split parliment would be hell on Earth.
