Berlusconi is one of Europe’s most captivating and debatable or controversial figures. He is not only a former Prime minister of Italy but a three time prime minister of Italy, from 1994 to 1995, 2001 to 2006, and 2008 to 2011. He came from a middle class background to become the wealthiest man in the country. He is also the owner of the nation’s top football team and the leader of a media empire. Silvio Berlusconi was born on September 29, 1936 to a native Milan banker Luigi Berlusconi and Rosa Bossi. He was the first of three children. He studied law at the Universita Statale in Milan, and graduated in 1961. In in the early 1960s, Milan was a city which offered many possibilities to determined young graduates, even those who have chosen a career in law. Soon after graduation, he began his career in the building construction business when he took interest in the design of a garden city. After a few failed building projects, Milano 2 was the project that made Berlusconi’s name. Milano 2 was an early Italian exercise in bounded space. It was located in east of Milan.

Firstly, stances on a single issue, as important as said issue may be to voters and as predictive as the people’s reaction to an issue can be of their positions on other issues and therefore other candidates, cannot predict an entire election. Additionally, there is still a chance for the Democrats when the general election rolls around. As primary season comes to a close, the candidate left standing on either side will have to begin to appeal to a more moderate voter base. This is where Bernie…

only force candidates to ideological extremes to win primary elections, but they also compel newly elected officeholders to remain more extreme than they normally would. This forces the party to risk losing the seat, because moderate candidates do better in general elections.
