the congress has a dilemma: how to get away with sucking up to the italians without facing the wrath of kerala voters.

Here is one of life's juicy ironies (if you know something about the Irish)--check it out :
http://www.rte.ie/news/2011/1103/embassies.html
Excerpts---[edited for context...see article at url above for full report]
...The Government has decided to close Ireland's embass[y] to the Vatican ....
....Mr Gilmore said that the Government was obliged to implement cuts .....He said the closure of the three embassies would save around €1.25m a year.
He said that ... the embassy to the Holy See ... yielded no economic return, and that Ireland's interests could be sufficiently represented by a non-resident ambassador....
....Mr Gilmore said the closure of the embassy in the Holy See was not related to the recalling of the Papal Nuncio from Ireland earlier this year....
----End of excerpts
Looks like everyone except the superannuated party that manages to stay in power has cojones.
