Exit polls are showing a huge surge for populist and nationalist leaning parties in Italy’s election. The left wing has been totally marginalized.
It looks as if the populist anti-EU Five Star Movement will get roughly 30 percent of the vote, followed by the left leaning Democratic party with 20 percent of the vote with the right wing Forza Italia and Northern League parties coming in with around 14 to 15 percent of the vote each.

A coalition government could be formed between the Five Star Movement and other parties but there is speculation on if the Five Star Movement is willing to strike a deal to form a coalition.

We’ll see what happens. These parties need to put aside their differences and deal with the nigger plague that has consumed their land. All other matters are inconsequential at the moment.
