I hope you are aware italy has had PMs without elections since the '50s.
In fact, no PM was effectively ever elected by the people, since we do not vote for the PM, and the role of choosing it is in the hands of the parliament.
In the history of the italian republic, no single PM was in charge for the duration of a whole legislature (the record holder before the '90s was a year and a half), there is literally nothing new in the current state of the government, other than propaganda by the parties (majority and minority both).
Also, between mr monti and mr letta there actually were elections.
