This week I kept reading the sources of information about the US and the Italian political elections. In particular, I read the news on The New York Times, Le Figaro, Giornale and Il Corriere della Sera.
The Italian elections are drawing near and the debate between Berlusconi and Veltroni is getting even more heated on a number of issues. Some articles say that Berlusconi is still the favourite, but at the same time he has lost credibility even if he continues criticizing the policy of the Left saying that Italy supports him and he will win in April. Furthermore, he adds that if he wins, three-quarters of the ministers will be women. This is particularly interesting if we want to make a comparison between America, where Hillary is one of the nominees of the Presidential elections and Italy: in both countries women are attaining success in politics.
As far as the US elections are concerned, a lot of news says that Obama and Hillary contradict each other in a number of issues and this might risk the unity of their party. Mr Obama is still seen as the presidential candidate most likely to unite the country (60%), followed by McCain (58%). A strange interview reveals that the Democrats might vote for McCain if their candidate isn’t the nominee and this is particularly true if the conservative Republican will be matched to Barack Obama, even if a comment on this news made by a Democrat says that it is a ridiculous reason because a vote for McCain is a vote for a third Bush term. Finally, McCain criticizes the government’s actions to solve the mortage crisis, which are supported by the Democrats, saying that “no assistance should be given to speculators”.
