    Forget Berlusconi: Italy has become a major setback for the European Union

    If Berlusconi fails to cobble together a parliamentary majority, the Five Star Movement will likely have to form a coalition.

    Italy's general election on Sunday has so far resulted in a hung parliament, with the country's Euro skeptic Five Star Movement emerging as the single party with the most votes. The centre-right coalition headed by former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi is expected to gain between 248 and 268 seats and a 37% vote share, which is still short of a majority. Some 316 seats are needed to form a government.
