Question: what is the biggest threat to democracy, if Italy is the standard to go by?
Answer: a common sandwich.
The paninus vulgaris is knows to lure candidates' campaign managers and administrators into distraction, causing deadlines to be missed and said candidates being excluded from the elections. This cock-up is magnified by Italy's proportional system in electing regional assemblies, which means scores of Berlusconi's candidates ended up off the ballot.
All because someone wanted a sandwich.
The storm has so far resulted in a useless candidate re-admission law, endless comedy and Berlusconi proclaiming it's all a communist plot against his party.
It isn't. Your staff is incompetent. Moral of the story: hand in the paperwork a day early!
