What do you think of the current government?
'Governo' = go-VER-no — three syllables. 'Attuale' = at-too-AH-leh — four syllables. Don't rush this phrase.
Use only with people you know reasonably well and when you are prepared for a passionate response. Political small talk in Italy is completely normal among friends and acquaintances — but can become heated.
'Che ne pensi di?' = 'What do you think of?' with the pronoun 'ne' replacing the complement 'del governo attuale.' 'Attuale' means 'current' (not 'actual' — a false friend). This is a B2 opinion-asking structure.

A valid and common response — useful when you want to steer away.
Italy has had over 65 governments since World War II. Cynicism about politicians ('la casta') is almost universal across the political spectrum. 'Sempre le stesse facce' (always the same faces) is a classic Italian political refrain.
