Italy under Prodi will accept any humiliation

Former EU Commission President Prodi and present PM of Italy has declared his country will happily lose six of their MEPs. Britain is set to lose five seats but France only four. Clearly the huge pension and EU benefits manipulate national leaders after holding EU posts as well as only in expectation as Britain is constantly witnessing with its hugely corrupt political class. We first blogged on this loss of parity with France here, but in the nine days that have since passed, has their been any British media coverage? -- None that I have been able to find! An IHT report is here. (Note the Irony in the body of the article and the headline - if the change is not to be part of the EU Reform Treaty negotiations why does the headline report that Prodi will not block the treaty on that topic?)
