The PD seem to be in free fall now they've got rid of Bersani, Letta (they think) will be the answer! I suspect he will get a deal with Berlusconi and the PDL but if they were savvy they should have gone for Renzi, as I think Berlusconi has a definite fear of him and maybe, just maybe, he could have done a deal with 5star with reform promises.

It was the most disappointing experience we have had in Italy as the crowds were so immense, we could not see anything and spent an hour queuing for a drink, watch it on TV for the spectacle, but be warned it can take 30 minutes to get a race started.
