Italy at this hour!!

Early elections to help Italy out of its crisis Sergio Romano examines Italy's governmental crisis. For the editorialist, the Italian president Giorgio Napolitano, who is currently consulting different political parties, should call an early election. "Italy has lost its credibility in the eyes of Europe. Nonetheless, our international engagement in the EU and NATO requires an entirely capable and legitimately elected executive. Even if electoral law is flawed, the Italians should lean on it to make a choice. Maybe we will find ourselves with an imperfect and litigious majority, but at least Italy would be proving that the democratic machinery still works and that decisions are ultimately in the hands of the electors."
