Berlusconi said he had conferred with officials in Lega Nord, his government's main ally, which has stressed elections are the most promsing end to the political crisis in Italy, which began when when a split occurred in Berlusconi's party, The People of Freedom. However, there is scepticism that even if Berlusconi wanted to hold an election, he would be unable to. President Giorgio Napolitano has insisted dissolving parliament is a last resort.

The Prime Minister said he intented to try and persuade those who voted against him to support his government. "There are lots of lawmakers belonging to various political forces who have reasons for dissatisfaction with the groups they belong to," he said.
