A BBC profile of Umberto Bossi:
news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/2994296.stm
Excerpt:
"The tough-talking head of Italy's far-right Northern League brought down Mr Berlusconi's first government in 1994 and is threatening to do the same again.
"Mr Bossi no longer wants independence for Northern Italy, but his views on many other key issues are just as controversial - and his way of expressing them is possibly unique among senior European government ministers."
