I don't think any person would be interested in having their rights thrown out the window.
In my opinion Berlusconi is an autocratic abuser of power led by his own ego and desire to control everything from the media (ownership) to the judicial system (bribes). Italians would be much better off without the corrupt system he is part of.

I dont claim to know what's going on, but I do know that a country can callapse if companies dont have the right to lay people off. What happens if a company starts losing money and cant save itself by laying people off?
However, I am sure there is a lot more to it than just that. Here in the States, companies can lay people off as needed under certain rules. I'm sure the case here has more to do with benefits. IE: Company being able to lay off a 20 year employee and not owe the benefits promised....that is wrong..

Well, I agree with Peo and I add more! Berlusconi's allies are : AN , ex fascists, and Lega Nord that wants the independence of the North Italy and considers the Italians of south like pigs and parasites ! Although Fini, vice president of the Italian government seems a reasonable person, he still shows his fascists roots. And of course member of his political party is Mussolini , parent of the known Mussolini. With these allies and his legal problems, Berlusconi will never be a politician and a respectable person for me! Anyway Italy was never able to have a stable & honest political scene. So no surprise for me that Berlusconi rools!

But what do I know... my dad's side is all Sicilian, which is the core of Berlusconi's support.

Wrong, most of Berlusconi's support comes from the South.
I can't respond to any of the rest of your post, because it doesn't make a sense.
Italy does have a highly stable economy but this factor is what is hampering it. It needs more medium sized businesses.

Giancarlo, if you say that Berlusconi's core support are Sicilians then you don't know anything about the Italian political scene! The North Italy mainly supports Berlusconi! Only lately the poor people of south voted Berlusconi, oh , my god, believing they can live better! But they were wrong!

And before you talk about stable Italian economy, you must first go to a supermarket to buy something , like I do every damn ----ing day! So keep your words out of things you don't know! Ok?

Hey pal... I was just explaining myself when you said I knew nothing of the situation.
Well gee, I am a little future economics and political science major who doesn't know anything.... blahblahblah.
You never respected my opinion in the first place, so I can't give you respect back.
