Sorry anno is ManU a football club then? grin Lucky my son can't read this or he'd never talk to me again!

Riverwalk.

Obviously they did. confused Says a lot when a clapped out comedian gets 25% of the votes. I bet Merkel is pulling her hair out.

Might the fact that he's promised to abolish (and even repay) a raft of taxes have something to do with the resurgence of his popularity?

I didn't know that SB had bought ManU, Deedaa grin

He is a man in his seventies who has wealth, teeth, hair and an endless succession of young girls. Many Italian men would see this as a role model. And he does own the best football team in the world (but that might just be me!)

The Berlusconi for Pope jokes have all been on facebook.

Talking non stop on the TV throughout the election campaign probably helps SB.

Well it's a bad situation tonight. Stale Mate.

This could be a serious problem for the euro, that will affect us as well. confused

Money, & power!!! (and the gift of the gab)angry

Barrow Mon 25-Feb-13 10:18:57

it could be that he has a monopoly of the media in Italy

annodomini Mon 25-Feb-13 10:13:10

phoenix, are you sure about that? grin

It could be worse, at least he isn't standing for Pope.

nanaej Mon 25-Feb-13 09:40:36

or just that he has money and power...no surely not!

LullyDully Mon 25-Feb-13 09:30:19

Must be the hair and his 'understanding of the feminist vote!!!!!'

absent Mon 25-Feb-13 08:50:27

Or his integrity and incorruptibility.

glammanana Mon 25-Feb-13 08:49:19

He must have something going for him and it certainly not his good looks thats for sure.
