Brawling and scuffling inside the chamber as Burlesconi escapes vote of no confidence by 3 votes, thanks to some dodgy *sounding* defections, and despite three heavily pregnant deputies turning up to vote against him, one of whom arrived in an ambulance.

Violence on the streets with burning barricades and reports of police battoning random passers-by.

REVOLUTION!
