Mama Mia! As reported in my previous blog the ruling Italian Democratic party has lost heavily in a referendum to a populist party. The referendum was put forth by Renzi the prime minister of Italy, hoping to decentralize regional power, from a regional approach to a centralized one. Renzi has now resigned, which puts the wheels in motion for an early election, and if the referendum is any indication of things to come, Italy will be the next country to reject the status quo, following the United States and Britain. And the markets keep going up. Can France be next? Mon Dieu, c’est possible!
