“Mutiny Halts Italian Gambit by Berlusconi” NYTimes

“Political theatrics,” thats what seems to be the recent trend not only in American government, but also abroad in Italy-as described in this NYTimes article. What Berlusconi- “the former powerful prime minister” intended to do before the Senate meeting was to bring down the coalition government. As this week the United States & Italy is currently “paralyzed by partisan political warfare,”Americans are in a stalemate regarding the Republicans varying perspectives on the Obama Care Act, while Italy is rather facing a sense of progression with great changes seen in the upcoming days and weeks. This sense of recovery from a time of instability, exemplifies the instability and clashes amongst governments and its people. Besides the American shutdown, and the Italian discrepancies in the Italian Senate, the Kenyan government is also fragile since there are numerous talks on how the government did no respond properly and effectively to the Westgate Mall attacks. These “oppositions to government” which Berlusconi stated, are a form of regression in my estimation, which is a required condition to progress and improve.
