Not to say that current reality is in any way excusable, but I shudder to think of the implications of a unilateral power centre in this democracy.
Tangentially, Perry Anderson has been writing polished analyses of the decay of parliamentary democracy in Italy in the London Review of Books: he has this piece, http://www.lrb.co.uk/v31/n04/ande01_.html on the new order of the '90s being subverted by the problems of the old order, and this one, http://www.lrb.co.uk/v31/n05/ande01_.html on the death of the Italian Left [NB, I haven't read the second one in entirety yet]. I only wish there were some way to predict what sort of government would be better for a FIFA World Cup victory.
