Isn't the Italian parliamentary system and constition different?
The UK mess of the last 3.5 years would in no way fly in the Netherlands were I was born, neither voting wise nor constitutionally nor culturally.
Boris doesn't have to compromise anymore and has the power to remove checks and balances and there is Brexit.
I was impressed by the Italian parties working together to oust Salvini.
I guess nobody can say any longer Italian politics is "the worst" in the EU... :)

quick opinion from an italian grown up during Berlusconi golden age:
BJ has been able to tell what people wanted to hear. he got the votes (and the seats), he rules. UK will survive, one way or the other. he'll drop the harsh manners and he will compromise.
JC failed miserably versus some of the worst tories governments of the last 30 years. possibly a good and kind soul, but wrong leader at the wrong time. he wanted brexit as much as BJ but he could not say it. Labour needs to understand that capitalism is bit more complex than a zerosum game.
