Bloomberg reports Italy’s Right Has an Orban-Style Super Majority Within ReachĪn alliance led by Giorgia Meloni’s far-right Brothers of Italy, which includes Matteo Salvini’s League and Silvio Berlusconi’s Forza Italia, has a wide lead in opinion polls ahead of the September 25 general election. The Italian president is largely a political figurehead except in matters like these.Ī 46.2 to 34.3 lead is insurmountable by Italian election rules. Italy’s president, Sergio Mattarella, asked Draghi to reconsider his resignation, but Draghi refused, triggering elections. Draghi is a compromise technocrat rather than an elected leader. The September election was triggered when the Five-Star Movement (M5S) refused to support Prime Minister Mario Draghi, in Parliament. Well, as Mish Shedlock writes, Italian polls are often unreliable, but the results shown below are unusually clear and stable. President Mattarella dissolved the parliament and the next elections are set for 25 September, in just over two months’ time. It was one of the most dramatic weeks ever for Italian politics, with Mario Draghi resigning after The League, Forza Italia (FI) and the Five Star Movement (M5S) made it clear that they did not want to continue supporting the government coalition.
