At the same time, with Monti’s coalition failing to gain traction, reflecting the historically limited appeal of classic bourgeois parties in Italy, many observers are wondering what his role in the next government will be.

不过贝尔萨尼必须控制参众两院才能掌控政局，但他不太可能得到50.1%的参议院席位。同时蒙蒂联盟因经典资产阶级政党在意大利向来缺乏吸引力而功亏一篑，因此许多观察家都好奇他将在下届政府中扮演何种角色。对贝尔萨尼而言，与蒙蒂结成联盟很可能是取得上议院控制权、并藉此控制政府的关键因素。
