The current Greek Government is legitimate I agree but who in the Italian Cabinet was elected by the people? Ohhh you mean 'Super' Mario was elected by MPs... with a veiled threat of rule by troika behind it. I have heard of this type of 'democracy' but thought it was practised in the Soviet Bloc.

Cabinets are never elected by the people here. People elect parliament who in turn support a cabinet which may or may not contain members from that parliament. It allows for more democratic control because you're not bound to a partyline and partyministers.
