After the vote, Prodi submitted his resignation to President of the Republic Giorgio Napolitano, who now has the task of either searching for Parliamentary support for a bipartisan caretaker government or calling snap elections. Berlusconi, his eyes on a chance to return to the Prime Minister's office, has demanded an immediate election...
