Re: Italy at the G8
europe seems to be somewhat 'overrepresented' (if that is a word anyway)
China did surpass Italy a few years ago, yet they are not part of the G8 (which used to be the seven largest economies + Russia if i remember correctly)

Re: Italy at the G8
Gangstas (especially applicable to Russia )
Actually, what a lot of people don't realise is that there's a little r in between the G and the 8. Which makes them Gr8

Re: Italy at the G8
Why are Italy there...? You mean why are France there? I'd prefer to get rid of France over Italy any time <insert random rants about french economy reliant on subsidies because they're too inefficient and limit themselves to 35 hour working weeks> [/English]
France are only there because they're in the "middle" of Europe.

Re: Italy at the G8
Maybe the fact that they have one of the 7 biggest economies in the world has something to do with it too.
And regarding Italy, their economy was actually bigger than ours (UK) 10 years ago. We've caught up and surpassed them now though.

Err, no. They're there because they're one of the biggest economies in the world. Which is what G8 membership is kinda (on the whole.) based upon - Russia and Canada excepted.

Re: Italy at the G8
Canada has the smallest of the G8 economies and the only other countries not in G8 that have a larger economy than Canada are China, India and Brazil. But they populations are huge so their GNP per person is very low, thats one of the main reasons they arnt included (also they arent very industrialsed and not all that democratic :P)

Re: Italy at the G8
A lot of the purely economic meetings which go on at the G8 Summits are concerned with exchange rate and monetary policy co-ordination, which goes some way to explaining why India and China aren't on the list. Russia's participation is largely a face-saving measure.

It's the Whites & The Honorary Whites.
Which still doesn't explain Italy.

Yes, that would completely explain once and for all why it's called the G8.

Re: Italy at the G8
Russia's reason for being there is not related to the size of its economy, that's why I said 7 instead of 8.

Is it true that George Bush only came to terms with the idea of humans having a part in global warming a few days ago?

France would probably support them. LOL about the seven dwarves remark, it may sting but it's true.

California (not LA) has the 6th biggest economy in the world. But they don't count cos they're not a country
I think it is bigger than Italy's economy.
And did you know, 51 of the 100 biggest economies in the world are actually corporations. Madness!
