Pallaro, for some unspecified reason, will not be present to vote tomorrow in the Senate. Therefore, after these two calculations, the opposition has gained one vote, and the Unione lost two.
The way things are going, not even all 7 life senators could save Prodi now.
Today he went up to the presidential palace to speak with the President Giorgio Napolitano. He is reflecting on whether to resign before the vote in the Senate, or ride it out. In any case, he will wait until after the vote-of-confidence in the Chamber of Deputies, where Prodi holds a comfortable majority.

There is still the quorum problem. ... maybe we will see him gone by tomorrow night, I hope.
but no elections will be permitted by comrade Napolitano, the commie "President" of our stellar banana republic.
He will concoct an unelected interim "technical" government that will do what the most powerful economic power circles exactly want.
