Berlusconi: "planning To Hand Power To Daughter Marina"

[Rosie]

I know, there already lots of thread about the guy but there's something that doesn't quite smell right about this latest news.

Apparently, Berlusconi plans on giving the leadership of his party to his rich and powerful daughter, Marina. What's your opinion about this? He was supposed to be banned from political life but won't he be able to influence the party anyway, through his daughter?

What are your thoughts?

It looks like this could even be possible with the latest news.

I can't believe that this kind of idea should even be considered as possible. What experience does she have in politics?

None, but people that like Berlusconi will be happy thinking that voting for her it's like voting for her "papi".

Yep, that's the general idea, I'm sure.
Plus, she will do what her father will tell her to do so, all in all, it'll be like Berlusconi is behind the desk again.

These are the things that should not happen, yet we can't do anything about it.
Berlusconi was banned from political life, but his family wasn't. So, it's not like the daughter is breaking any rules.

@Chillout, I too wonder what does she know about politics and from what I read, she doesn't even want this. Oh, they also mention Grillo in the article. He isn't a politician, he's just a blogger, yet he got involved in politics anyway.
