Av Olav Anders Øvrebø - 26.2.2013 10:57Utfallet av det italienske valget – ulike flertallskonstellasjoner i underhuset og senatet – var hele tiden en mulighet i valgkampen, selv om det er uvanlig i Italia. Sensasjonen var at Beppe Grillos parti ble det største enkeltpartiet, større enn både Bersanis PD og Berlusconis PDL (de to gruppene ble bare større fordi de stiller sammen med mindre partier).
Wolfgang Münchau mener italienerne må prøve det mange sier er umulig – en storkoalisjon:
I am aware that almost every Italian political expert says this is not possible because of the confrontational style of politics and dozens of other reasons. I respectfully disagree. Italian parties have no experiences of a grand coalition, so much is true. Then again, the German politicians who entered grand coalitions in 1967 or 2005 did not either. Grand coalitions are certainly not a good way to govern countries over long periods because they leave radical fringe parties thriving in opposition. A grand coalition would leave Mr Grillo as the effective leader of the opposition. But grand coalitions can work well for a finite, predefined period, say for one parliamentary term.
