Government System

Italy is a parliamentary, socialist democratic republic with a multiparty system. It's executive power is exercised by the council of ministers that are led by the President or "Presidente del Consiglio". Italy most recently voted out Silvio Berlusconi who was believed to be corrupt and paying voters to vote for him. This is all going on during a time where Italy starts to see a large economic decline which has the Italian Government scrambling for solutions.
