For those who have watched both the Italian election itself and the outcome, it looks like Berlusconi is out.
However, Berlusconi's exit left stage is not the end of the matter as The Independent points out:
"The defeat of Silvio Berlusconi has left Tony Blair isolated in Europe as the last political leader supporting the war in Iraq".
Even more so, the article says this of the Blairs:
"The close relationship between Mr Blair and the Italian media mogul has mystified Labour MPs, who privately say the Blairs were dazzled by wealth. The election result is also likely to bring the curtain down on the free holidays the Blairs enjoyed at Mr Berlusconi's villa in Sardinia.
The Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera dubbed the Blairs "The Sultans of Bling" after Mr Blair declared receiving watches, earrings, a necklace, a ring and a bracelet from Mr Berlusconi."
Finally, The Independent deals with the possible outcome of the now ex PM's travails with the Courts. Read the full piece here.
