Italy 2013 official results thread

[Keystone Phil]

Instant polls show Maroni is going to win the Lombardy regional.  

Lazio is a nine point center-left lead.

[RogueBeaver]

News agencies- Reuters et al- are projecting a PD Camera victory.

[ag]

161 thousand vote margin! Less than 2000 sections left, though.

Sh*t.

[Andrea]

I confess I voted Bersani in the primary. Mainly because I agree politically with him more than with Renzi. Now feel free to stone me. Probably I deserve it.

PD basically did nothing after the parliamentary primaries in late December. I can't even say they run a bad campaign...they didn't run a campaign at all!

[Andrea]

PD sources think they will stay in the lead.

[Dereich]

Its funny that this election is turning out EXACTLY like Greece did last year. I confidently predict a victory for the sane but slightly corrupt PD over the insane parties of destruction in a few months.

[SPQR]

I just want to emigrate...


Anyway,according to my calculations on Excel,we should hold the Camera by 40-50,000 votes.

What are the odds of another election before the end of the year? Seems likely with the state in the Senate.

I don't like to say that but... yeah.

Perfect way to give an absolute majority to Grillo in the senate.

Think? I'd imagine they'd be a lot more sure than that. I just wanted to see how low it would go. I figured it was clear about an hour ago that they couldn't lose their lead.

[Antonio the Sixth]

The gap is shrinking really fast guys. 0.44 points.

Alternatively you could just have a military coup and that would solve matters for a while.

Rieti Left 31.4 (-8.6) Clown 30.2 (-13.9) Troll 26.9 Right 6.3. This is the bit of Lazio that's sometimes historically considered to be Umbria.

Caserta Clown 41.1 (-13.3) Left 25.8 (-4.0) Troll 20.8 Right 7.9. Northern Campania.

Cosenza Left 31.7 (-6.4) Clown 29.7 (-11.6) Troll 25.5 Right 8.5. Northern Calabria. The region is, alas, another narrow Berlusconi win.

Cagliari Troll 30.7 Left 29.7 (-8.9) Clown 27.3 (-19.9) Right 6.5
Carbonia - Iglesias Troll 30.4 Left 29.3 (-10.4) Clown 22.7 (-18.7) Right 5.5. A Sardinian nationalist also took over 4% here. Only one Sardish province out.

Perfect way to give an absolute majority to Grillo in the senate.

Considering that it is he, who refuses to join in any coalition, this would be triply insane. Should the rest of Europe start preparing for Italian default?

Just 1310 precincts to go, though.

Look at the number of seats for Berlusconi + Grillo...it should be enough to have a pretty easy answer.

[Zuza]

La Repubblica has Berlusconi 0.4% higher than Google Politics & Elections but all the other numbers are the same. Any idea why?

Because Google doesn't include Grande Sud - MPA into Berlusconi's coalition.

No, new elections is the only way to avoid the otherwise inevitable collapse of the next government and Berlusconi's win in early elections held in 6-18 months.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Disastrous results for everyone but Grillo...

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

I admit that that's factually the case, but I'm still absolutely intellectually and for that matter spiritually baffled as to why Berlusconi had any mojo in the first place. What is wrong with this country's political culture?! Giulio Andreotti and then this scumbag.

Berlusconi shaped Italy's political (an not only political) culture to his convenience.

Somehow I feared that was the answer. How long has he had a media near-monopoly, anyway?

That explains it. Thank you.

He wouldn't be any worse than quite a few PMs Italy has actually had...

[Keystone Phil]

Only two precincts of the 133 for North and Central America are reporting but my guy is in third behind the center-left and Monti's candidate.
