Italy deals a serious blow to the globofascists of the EU:
Italy entered a period of political instability on Monday after national elections boosted populists but failed to produce a winner with enough support to patch together a parliamentary majority. With about 95{a298dadb698b5d9f7b1e1aa14f0e41ed4811cd67f55ba9a1b19c355a24d2c8ed} of votes counted early Monday, the antiestablishment 5 Star Movement was projected to win 32{a298dadb698b5d9f7b1e1aa14f0e41ed4811cd67f55ba9a1b19c355a24d2c8ed} of the vote—exceeding expectations and emerging as Italy’s largest party.
The 5 Star Movement, which has won a large following by denouncing Italy’s conventional politicians as corrupt, has long been hostile to the idea of forming governing pacts with other parties. Despite some signs of greater flexibility recently, many observers believe a government led by the movement will be difficult to assemble.
“Nobody can govern without the 5 Star,” Riccardo Fraccaro, a leading party member, told a news conference after the vote.
On paper, the 5 Star could form a government with another populist group, the anti-immigrant League. Such a populist coalition, which would shock Italy’s and Europe’s establishment and possibly challenge European Union rules on economic policy, faces political hurdles, however, given major differences between the parties’ ideology and political strategies up to now.
The conservative coalition that includes the Forza Italia party of former prime minister Silvio Berlusconi was projected to win about 37{a298dadb698b5d9f7b1e1aa14f0e41ed4811cd67f55ba9a1b19c355a24d2c8ed} of the vote, falling short of a majority in either chamber of parliament. Forza Italia itself emerged as one of the big losers on the night, getting 14{a298dadb698b5d9f7b1e1aa14f0e41ed4811cd67f55ba9a1b19c355a24d2c8ed} the vote, about four points less than its main ally, the League.
The center-left Democratic Party, mainstay of Italy’s government in recent years, suffered worse-than-expected losses and was projected to win only around 19{a298dadb698b5d9f7b1e1aa14f0e41ed4811cd67f55ba9a1b19c355a24d2c8ed}.
Movimento Cinque Stelle makes the establishment nervous, because they are unpredictable. But it is Matteo Salvini and La Lega that really scares them, as you can see by the way The Wall Street Journal doesn’t even directly mention the fact that they got 20 percent of the vote, more than the so-called “mainstream” Democratic Party.
I, for one, would love to see a Cinque Stelle / La Lega government. Stop the migration, deport the migrants, get out of the Euro, get out of the EU. Those should be the first four government policies and both parties should be able to agree on them. This is particularly important since the idiot Germans just assured themselves a fourth term of Merkel’s disastrous and destructive regime. Salvini has rejected the idea of a populist coalition, but it is still very early days and the final results haven’t even been announced.
