Italy's 'Comedy'

Around ten days ago....Italy's coalition government collapsed. 

The Five-Star Movement and the League Party have ended their coalition.  It's best to say that they were both on the right more conservative 'lean', with the Five-Star Movement less conservative. 

What's going on now?  The Five-Star Movement and the Social Democrats (considered left-of-center) are talking on a coalition.

The amusing thing here, if you go back a decade (around 2009)....the whole mechanical apparatus to create the Five-Star Movement, was centered on one central theme....anti-Social Democrat.

So to join up with them now?  If you are Italian and over the age of thirty....remembering the 2009 era, and the past decade....you have to be laughing because it makes no sense. 

So a collapse of Five-Star Movement in the next year?  I'll go and predict that the coalition will occur, but half the voters for the Five-Star crowd will just walk away laughing.  The only reason to exist for them....was being anti-Social Democrat....and now they are your partner?
