Guess who could be coming back to power in Italy...
The centre-left, which has been left in tatters by Prodi's demise, opposes early elections and has the backing of unions and industrialists, who favor electoral reform first.

But the centre-right opposition, led by former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, is smelling blood and wants to return to power after losing elections to Prodi in 2006.

At a huge rally on Friday night in Naples that effectively kicked off his political campaign, Berlusconi insisted that the centre-right wanted to go directly to elections.

"There is no reason to waste any more time, we must go to the polls as quickly as possible. This is the start of our election campaign for freedom," Italy's richest man told the crowd.
