See, if the centre-left Democratic Party and the Five Star Movement had acted sensibly and kept their tentative alliance, and ideally if the liberals hadn’t petulantly split from the centre-left, the right-wing coalition wouldn’t have won. Or they’d have only narrowly won. The right-wingers have got a big majority mostly due to the new Italian electoral system (mostly FPTP seats, far less proportional) working so strongly against the centre-left and liberals all splitting each other’s votes.
The only consolation is that the right-wing coalition still don’t have the 2/3 majority needed to tear up Italy’s postwar constitution. Hopefully the opposition parties will learn a hard lesson too.

Never really had to compete on a level playing field.
Provisional results. Not exactly the far-right takeover some media are claiming, once all the countries participating are totalled up.
A LOT of this is just basic racism.
It’s a great system the Oligarchs have set up. They funnel money to themselves, blame the resulting downward squeeze on wages, homes, and healthcare on minorities. Then use that misplaced rage to increase the power of their candidates…to further funnel money to themselves, blame the resulting downward squeeze on wages, homes, and healthcare on minorities.

Exit polls for the French parliamentary election have the left-wing New Popular Front first, Macron’s centre-right Ensemble bloc second, and the far-right National Rally third place. The Fash didn’t win!
