Berlusconi wins confidence vote

Now I have never been a member of Italian politics but I have to think that when cars are set on fire and riot police are deployed that chances are that the public does not agree with whatever decision was just made by the hands of politicians. Mention the name Berlusconi to nearly anyone in Italy and generally there are no positive comments to be made. Between the long list of mistresses he entertains, the completely inappropriate comments he makes in public and the allegations of corruption one has to wonder how it is possible to win a confidence vote, unless of course you live in Italy, the most corrupt country in the Western world. Just saying.

Note to family, no need to worry, the riots took place far from where I live.
