A recent article by an Italian journalist has brought up new allegations against Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi.

Italians are increasingly weary of their prime minister, and audio of a 2009 phone call - in which Berlusconi says the nation is under the hold of a left-wing judiciary - has brought him added public attention.

In the phone call, made to a businessman who himself faces allegations of extorting the prime minister in connection to prostitution, Berlusconi speaks of starting a revolution.

However, for Italians who have already discounted him, this is yet another blow to Berlusconi's political career.
