Regional Elections: Vote Northern League

"[T]he bombing [of Libya] will provoke a wave of illegal immigration from Libya to Italy’s southern coast, and [the Northern League] is demanding Mr Berlusconi set a date to end the raids. Umberto Bossi, the pugnacious Northern League leader, had threatened to bring down the government if parliament was not allowed to vote on the issue. Interior Minister Roberto Maroni, another Northern League figure, predicted the government would fall if the bombing was not stopped."

"Mr Maroni also warned that the killing at the weekend of Gaddafi’s son, Saif al-Arab, would “have enraged the Libyan dictator even more”, and repeated claims that Gaddafi would as revenge, send a wave of up to 50,000 immigrants to Italy’s shores. Italy has already seen nearly 30,000 migrants arrive from Tunisia this year."

Beware, Italy! If Gaddafi does not stay in power, he will get revenge by invoking the 50,000 immigrant blitz! So says the reasonable Libertarian stronghold of Italy!
