A Blair For Italy?
PM and PM-to-be? Prodi (left) and Veltroni
Rome Mayor Walter Veltroni is voted to head a new centrist "Democratic Party", which supporters hope will offer an alternative to both the unreformed left and Silvio Berlusconi's centre-right Forza Italia.
Current Prime Minister Romano Prodi, who was originally behind the idea of a new centrist grouping, claims he does not feel challenged by Veltroni's success. Nevertheless, the Independent notes that former Communist and journalist Veltroni is already being tipped as Italy's "PM-in-waiting."
