"Berlusconi ha auspicato nuovamente una
modifica dei regolamenti parlamentari.
"Ci sono tempi infiniti in commissione,
tanti emendamenti,estenuanti bracci di
ferro sul loro arrivo in Aula. Quando
una legge esce fuori รจ diversa da quel-
la inizialmente progettata"."


My translation

"Burlusconi again advocates a modification of parliamentary rules
'things take for ever in committees, many amendments, exhausting tests of will about their (bills) arrival on the floor. When a law is completed it is different from that which was initially planned'"

That is, the prime minister of Italy, objects that laws are written by the legislature and are therefore not exactly the same as the laws proposed by the government.

I am sure that not even Berlusconi's worst political adversary will note that someone who openly displays such utter contempt for the idea of a constitution is unfit for public office.
