And when have I said I think she'll set aside the divisive stuff, Maggie? Do you say these things because you want me to be even worse than you already think I am? I've said several times that she opposes same-sex marriage, abortion, immigration and anything to do with LGBT. That's all anathema to me, as I think should be clear from my posts down the years.   I've reiterated more than once that there is nothing at all to commend her. I've said that her election was very unfortunate. I HAVE said that she is not a direct political descendant of Mussolini, much as you see that as inconvenient. I HAVE said that, despite her far-right predilections, she will have to work within the context of the tenets of the European Union, which means she has to abide by democracy, a fair justice system and the rule of law. So far, she has not made any move that suggests she wants Italy out of the EU (there are good reasons for that which I won't go into), and she does not want Italy to leave the euro (which is a change of mind). I did not point to that article because I agreed with everything in it. I pointed to it because I thought it had an interesting take on her political positioning. And comparing her with the most dangerous man on the planet (possibly with the exception of Putin) is hardly taking a softer view, is it? There are plenty of things in these threads you could be shaking your head at. I suggest that stuff I haven't said shouldn't be one of them.
