Italian Elections and Politics 2018: Yellow Tide

[Antonio the Sixth]

I really want to see what Grillo says now. Still hasn't spoken. Before the vote he said he would "go away" if he didn't win this time, adding "this is not a joke". His feet will be on fire for some time now...

Final results:

PD 40.81%
M5S 21.15%
FI 16.81%
LN 6.15%
NCD 4.38%
Tsipras 4.03%
FdI 3.66%

In terms of coalitions, that means the left is at 44.84, and the right at 31%. Wow.

Of the registered voters, 55.57% cast a valid vote, 3.12% an invalid one, and 41.31 abstained.

This more than compensates for that horrendous afternoon in February '13...

[Antonio the Sixth]

When do they start counting for the regionals? Piemonte is shaping up to be a huge landslide too!

Yes,even though the no-TAV in the Val di Susa will help Grillo.
Abruzzo will be much,much tighter.
Anyway results should start flowing in around 3/4...

Indeed! PD's is the best showing for any national party since the 1950s. It will be the largest party in the S&D group, and it seems to be the second-best showing for a governing party after Romania.

[Antonio the Sixth]

With 0.1% reporting, Chiamparino at 50%.

Where are the Abruzzo results? I can't find them on the Interno website.

Abruzzo is reporting its results on its own separate website. There's a link to it from the main electoral portal page on the Ministry's website.

I did kind of wish the Northern League would be dead after Bossi, but you can't win everything, I guess.

Unfortunately, Salvini has done a pretty good job at rebranding Lega as the "Euro suxxx!!!" party... So the new Lega is a bit less awful than the old one, at least they seem a bit less corrupt and fake, though they're just as racist as before.

The newly elected MEPs (some will join later after some resignations from Salvini, Fitto & co).

[SPQR]

Lega Nord attracted A LOT of former M5S voters in Northern Italy.

Overall,with respect to the 2013 elections,PD gained some 3 million votes,while Grillo's movement lost around 2.

[Antonio the Sixth]

With 1% in, it's shaping up as a PD landslide in Piemonte.

[Keystone Phil]

Time for the clowns (Silvio included) to finally leave the scene. Thanks.

[Antonio the Sixth]

The Abruzzo website has crashed. What a joke.

[Antonio the Sixth]

With slightly over 15% in, Piemonte seems to be over. Chiamparino leading in every province now.

[Antonio the Sixth]

Now, if the MS5 people travel first time out of Italy, and hear people speaking, is there possibility for any splits in that Putinist army.

These people aren't programmed to change their minds.

[Antonio the Sixth]

20% of Abruzzo is in, and the PD guy has a double digit lead so far. So this is gonna be PD+2.

[Antonio the Sixth]

Yeah, 2/3 counted in Piemonte and 1/2 in Abruzzo. It's over. The regional map is now almost entirely red.

Chiamparino will get 46-47% to 23% for the right. In Abruzzo the left should win 40-25.

Dominating.

[Antonio the Sixth]

OMG the PD guy got 46% in Abruzzo.

Chiamparino won 47%, 2 points above the combined left total in the Europeans.

[politicus]

Given that it is such a broad tent party, do the people elected mostly come from the leftist/SD part of it or the centrist/moderate part?

It's hard to say really, especially since the main divides in the PD really have nothing to do with ideology. And even the old DC/PCI background divide doesn't have much relevancy these days (considering how some "communists" like D'Alema have turned out...). There aren't very many leftists left in the PD: at this point it's basically Civati and a handful of his buddies. Civati himself is a pretty good leader, he's charismatic and could have a bright future (although not until Renzi will be so dominant). So anyway, Chiamparino, the guy who won in Piedmont, was one of Renzi's earliest supporters (even though he's an old timer, he was the mayor of Turin a while ago). He was Renzi's unofficial candidate for the presidency in 2013, actually. I don't know anything about the Abruzzo guy though.

[Andrea]

They are counting the ballots of mayoral run offs right now.

PD takes Vercelli and Verbania in a landslide. Good win in Biella too.
PdL lose Pavia. Giorgio Gori gain Bergamo.
Bari is easy for PD. Same in Pescara

But

They are losing in Padova and Potenza.
They have lost Livorno to 5 Stars....and Perugia to center/right!!'
