In the spring of 2008, when a centre-right political alliance largely won the election, it seemed that it would rule through the entire term of the legislature, until 2013. Instead, the adventure of the fourth Berlusconi Government was over long before. The majority had flaked off bit by bit and at the end, on November 8th of last year, the Chamber of Deputies vote on the general statement of the State certified its dissolution. The day after, the President of the Italian Republic Giorgio Napolitano appointed the economist Mario Monti senator for life, adopting "an act of constitutional fantasy, in the days when Berlusconi temporised on his resignation, while the markets were demanding a replacement. Thus, Napolitano, using his prerogative (the power of appointment of senators for life) immediately showed the way and the parties followed" (M. Ainis, Corriere della Sera, 17/11/2011). In fact, Berlusconi tended his resignation soon after. Monti was appointed to form a new Government, which also received an ample parliamentary vote of confidence (on November the 17th in the House of Deputies and the 18th in the Senate).
