Italy in their economic struggles decided to re-elect their president even though he has done less than a stellar job with the economy. He was the most neutral candidate that was offered left and even though he was not an ideal choice he didn't have any competition that the other members of the board were more comfortable in nominating. They believed that their stability in office would be the safest idea because the last thing they need in their economic state is uncertainty and someone who would rock the boat.
