...simplest. Within the coming week, the budget bill, which has passed the Chamber of Deputies, goes before the Senate, where the Berlusconi government lacks a majority. If the bill is defeated, the Prime Minister may carry out his threat to resign and force new elections. If it passes, coalition partner Umberto Bossi, head of the Northern League, may resign or switch allegiance to protest against Berlusconi's leadership...
