Fine with me. The left should show their stripes everywhere. They will be thrown out into the streets. The center-left can't even get a clear win on their choice for president of the lower house. With eighty parliamentarians voting against their own guy, he's DOA.

The reason they put him up is to keep his party in the coalition.

I hate the bastard with a passion, but he's exactly where he can do the least harm: In the spotlight.

So what's the pact with Fausto?

Sounds like yet another Rive Gauche, trendy-lefty aristocrate:
Bertinotti is an icon known to the Italian public for his “aristocratic” public image, mainly conveyed by his french R, his good manners and his elegant sweaters. His fascination with expensive cashmere is also part of his idiosyncracy. This bourgeoise look has often been seen as being in ironic contrast with his far left politics.
Jean-Fauste?

That's bull. His 'French" Rs come from poor Alpine provincial roots and that's how they're heard. Also, he dresses like a stupid professor in tweed and has a grotesque leather case for his glasses hung around his neck.

All he's missing is chalk on his back.

Bertinotti comes off as an aging doctrinaire professor of some sloppy liberal art like philosophy or sociology, not some Hugh Hefner with "praxis".

Wiki blew it here.

Le Monde agrees they are DOA.
