See that's the problem- people want democracy for all, until it doesn't suit their view (not you- just people in general, myself included). I mean we are all about the democratic process and fairness when it comes to voter rights, but once you introduce the fringe element of either side.... people get squeamish. If we live in a democratic society- then let us be in a democratic society for all, even the fringe people. Just hope that the mass of level headed people out number the fringe.
As for Italy and so forth- if that is the way their country is leaning then that is the way it is leaning. The people of Italy have spoken.
