It was emphasized a day after being promised to resign following the decision of parliament passed budget reform.
"I will resign once the Act was passed and because I believe there is nopossibility of a majority of the others, I think the general elections held earlyFebruary and I would not run at the time," said Berlusconi.
But Berlusconi's desire to hold a general election is not fully supported byopposition parties who expect the formation of a national government that involves them.
Italian upper house of parliament, or Senate-reform package is expected to approve the budget at the end of this month to revive the Italian economyis hit by the economic crisis participated in the countries using the euro currency.
Once legislation is passed, then the President of Italy will conductconsultations with political parties to discuss the next steps.
For Berlusconi, up and down the Italian political scene is commonplace.Currently he is even being entangled number of legal issues andallegations of a sex scandal.
And voting for the budget in the lower house on Tuesday (08/11) is morean indication but not a determinant of his political career.
"By the opposition was indeed referred to, see you this is no longer in the community poluler Italy, so you should back off. But it seems to Berlusoniwas not something he's not really pay attention," said Krishna Hannan,Political Affairs Officer at the Italian Embassy in Rome .
Also apparently still solid Berlusconi coalition in the Senate although in the lower house did not seem to give total support to Berlusconi.
"Berlusconi's coalition in the House of Commons does seem to have lostthe majority, but according to the Italian constitution, referedunm and votingto go through two rooms, the House of Commons and Senate. But thecoalition in the Senate is still quite strong," added Hannan.
Hannan also said so far it seems less likely to hold early elections.
"We never talk with the opposition in Italy, according to the opposition to carry out an early election is urgent, but costs are high and will furtherburden the people of Italy, so that small kemungkinanya."
