Italian President Giorgio Napolitano is expected to dissolve parliament Wednesday after efforts to form an interim government failed.

News reports from Italy say early elections are likely to take place in April, only two years after the previous vote.

8. That Depends

On what Belusconi offered them and whether he actually honors the deal, because once he's back in, that small party can't very well admit to their part in causing the coalition government to fall!

It seems that greed is more important then having principles, but I guess we in the US have set the example that others have been following for the last 6 years, another great accomplishment to add to the American legacy.
