The Labors parties in Great Britain have suffered the biggest defeat since 1918. Even in Germany the SPD lost badly scoring 20.8%, a new negative record. In France, Sarkozy&rsquo;s coalition overwhelmed the socialists (28% against 16.48%), even though the great winner here is the Green Party (16.28%). In Italy (the biggest turnout here) Silvio Berlusconi&rsquo;s Freedom Party got 34.9 % with the Democratic Party being stuck at 25%. It is a victory, yes, but the expectations were higher. </p> </p></div></div></div> http://www.loccidentale.it/articolo/the+european+elections%3A+a+big+defeat+for+politics+and+politicians+++.0072908#comments Inside Italy berlusconi elections europe left Mon, 08 Jun 2009 18:29:30 +0200 <a href="/autore/andrea+holzer" title="Vedi tutti i contributi di Andrea Holzer">Andrea Holzer</a> 72908 at http://www.loccidentale.it
