So Italy's voted 'no' and after the elections, will likely have a really left wing parliament wanting to take them out of the EU.
However, in typical Italian fashion, they'll have a government which wants to leave but simultaneously voted against putting into place an easy way of doing it... ____________________ FZR400 (blown engine), ZXR750 (blown engine), ZX6R (accident), CBR600 which had engine issues after which I learned to change gear..., CBR900, CBR924 (stolen), CB600, CB1300 (everything blew up), BMW K1300GT (written off, hit from rear while stationary), Bandit 1250 for a couple of months, Triumph Sprint ST 1050 (nicked) and somewhere in there, I wrote off a Ducati 748 at Cadwell. |

Oh, you mean the chap who wasn't a watermelon, and who therefore by a process of elimination therefore must have been somewhere to the right of Hitler.
I am surprised though, I thought Austria would have gone Nazi, and the Italians would have surrendered to Progetto di Terrore. It's looking like the other way around.
Not that their communist[*] leader will make good on his promise to sling his hook, but every little helps.

Don't worry, the Austrian ex-Nazi party will have an opportunity to win everything in 2018. They're way ahead in the polling, an absolutely massive lead, so BNP72 will have somewhere nice to go on holiday. Austria has a little bit of a track record where it comes to white supremacy.
I don't believe LePen will get in because the way the French Presidential system works means the National Front get a really good vote in the first round but lose in the last. The British papers (Daily Mail and Express) were exaggerating her lead and it would be a major surprise if she won, bigger than Trump or Brexit. Still, you never know...
However, unless the Italian left wingers change their mind, they'll be pulling Italy out of the EU. ____________________ FZR400 (blown engine), ZXR750 (blown engine), ZX6R (accident), CBR600 which had engine issues after which I learned to change gear..., CBR900, CBR924 (stolen), CB600, CB1300 (everything blew up), BMW K1300GT (written off, hit from rear while stationary), Bandit 1250 for a couple of months, Triumph Sprint ST 1050 (nicked) and somewhere in there, I wrote off a Ducati 748 at Cadwell. |

Is crimethink, but 'ethnic advocacy' is goodthink, as long as the ethnic group is darker than a paper bag, and regardless of which group is actually a minority (see Viennese primary schools).
Ain't language marvellous?

I doubt it. Their economy is, if not circling the drain, at least bobbing around in the sink. Like Greece, they have to make a decision between going it alone, or going cap in hand to Brussels Berlin to be bailed out.
I'd like to think they'll go for the former, but I fear the fire has gone out of Greek and Roman bellies. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

I doubt that they will escape the Euro and Berlin's increasingly naked rule, but I'll cross my fingers for them.

They'd be stupid if they tried. They are basically near the same situation as Greece. |
Italy is allegedly significantly more robust than Greece but I have no idea. Practical economics 101 otherwise known as why the single currency was a botched job. All other things being equal, can't simultaneously attempt to control both interest rates and currency and Italy's had issues because of it. 'Issues' meaning unemployment etc...
However, Italy has one, teensy little hurdle before trying to push the button on article 50. Specifically, the party likely to be in power and claiming to want to trigger article 50, voted against reforms that would allow the triggering of article 50.

Their only way out is to either stay in the EU and drain more money from the system OR leave and break the Italy into a federation of some sort, separating the North from the South, which is something, I do believe, people of the Nothern part of Italy want. I know I would.
It's soon to tell, even the Brexit is just a ''all mouth'' even at the moment. There's one thing for sure though, Italy is not the UK. Meaning Italy does not have the £££ to support the poor south, just like England supports Scotland.

It almost feels like Italians said no in the referendum, just to get rid of Matteo Renzi, who stupidly/cunningly said he'll resign if people say no in the referendum. ____________________ '87 Honda XBR 500, '96 Kawasaki ZX7R P1, '90 Honda CB-1, '88 Kawasaki GPz550, MZ 150 ETZ

Greece is in free fall. I suspect that Italy are doing a Wile E. Coyote and are still running in mid air at the moment.
They have an ageing population with a catastrophically low birth rate of just 1.4 children per woman (pro-tip: you can't fix that by importing millions of excess penises). Their workforce is composed of mardy pinkos with unreasonable demands and expectations about their jobs, pay and retirement. They've out-borrowed their capability to repay their debts, both personally and nationally, and close to 20% of their banks' debts are "non performing" (i.e. bad).
The kicker is that I understand that individual Italians tend to buy bonds in Italian banks as investments, which means that writing off the bad debts of the profligate will directly screw over the prudent.
Of course, none of that applies to the UK. Nobody look down ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.
