The man just has bad skin, so the guy before me thought there were literal flies flying around him in the pixelated video. Turns out they weren't flies but just his actual face.

How do you mean YOU changed? There were 3 elections held for prime ministers?
ferra93 · 4 points · Posted at 08:54:19 on September 15, 2014 · (Permalink)
There were three parliamentary elections. In Italy, people don't elect directly the pm, we vote for a party, then the President of the Republic choose a mp to be the PM (usually the leader of the winning party) and then the parliament votes to approve him or not
So you had 3 parliamentary elections in 3 years? Doesn't that happen every 4 years?
ferra93 · 3 points · Posted at 10:43:53 on September 15, 2014 · (Permalink)
Sorry, for parliamentary elections I mean when deputies and senators vote to approve the PM.
People voted only once in these three years, except the European Elections.
I know it may sounds undemocratic but it was, and it is, a time of crisis and it was needed a goverment to pass unpopular reforms despite what people think. So, the President of the Republic nominated these 3 PM who had enough consensus to form a government and pass reform.
Now, Renzi is the last one and is the only one that also people like (his party got 41% at the EU elections, while the opposition stops at 25%) and seems to really try to change things, although slowly.

The Jimmy Carter rabbit incident, dubbed the "killer rabbit" attack by the media, involved a swamp rabbit that swam toward then–U.S. PresidentJimmy Carter's fishing boat on April 20, 1979. The incident caught press imagination after Carter's press secretary mentioned the event to a correspondent months later.
Imagei - The rabbit swimming away from the President
Reporter: "He spins the wheel and buys a vowel, this young contestant on the wheel of fortune is Matteo Renzi: the current mayor of Florence and strong opponent of the Democratic Party. In 2004 he was a contestant on Channel 5's programme "The Wheel of Fortune" hosted by Mike Bongiorno and an unrecognizable Paola Barale (google her, nsfw) . In the footage we see him as a 19 year old kid with the looks of a nerd while he answers the questions and Mike calls him a "champ". He's from Tuscany, he knows Italian very well and doesn't commit any mistakes"
Matteo Renzi: "I'd like to give an answer"
Mike: "Alright... "
Matteo Renzi: "The answer is - Spostando l'accento è voce di verbo -"
Reporter:"In the end he leaves the show with a nice sum of money, 48 million 400 thousand of the old lira and coincidentally his political carreer stars in that same year"
