2/26 Homework



This article is about the recent elections in Italy and how there was no clear winner from the results.  About 57% of Italians voted for parties that were against austerity.  The biggest party that won was the five star party which won 25% of the vote.  The current party in power received just 10% of the vote.  This has sent shares world wide tumbling. 

The author I believe makes an argument since he gives three possible options for Italy's government: they can form a national government, Grillo can change his position and form an alliance with Bersani, or there could be a re-election in the next 3-4 months.  The author I believe emotionalize or at least sensationalizes the topic.  I will give a quote from the article, "Already the signs are that this political explosion will reignite the financial crisis".
