Former&nbsp;Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi said on Thursday his&nbsp;Forza Italia&nbsp;party would&nbsp;vote&nbsp;against&nbsp;the coalition&nbsp;government&nbsp;of the 5-Star Movement and League in a parliamentary confidence motion expected next week.

Forza&nbsp;Italia&nbsp;was allied with the far-right League in an inconclusive March national election. Berlusconi gave his blessing to his ally to hold talks with 5-Star earlier this month after all other political options appeared blocked.

However, Berlusconi said in a statement that the programme drawn up by the two parties was "a naive book of dreams". He added: "We can do no other than confirm our decision to&nbsp;vote&nbsp;no in the confidence motion and be in opposition..."

Forza&nbsp;Italia's&nbsp;votes are not necessary for the 5-Star/League coalition to obtain a majority in parliament.
