Italians began voting Sunday in an election expected to usher in the country’s first government led by a conservative coalition since World War II, bringing eurosceptic populists to the heart of Europe. The Brothers of Italy party, led by one-time Mussolini supporter Giorgia Meloni, is leading opinion polls and looks set to take office in a coalition with Matteo Salvini’s LeagueParty and Silvio Berlusconi’s Forza Italia parties.
Economist Unless the polls are dramatically mistaken, on September 25th Italians will elect the most right-wing government in their country’s post-war history. A three-party alliance is expected to win more than 60% of the seats in parliament; the Brothers of Italy (fdi) looks set to dominate the trio, and its leader, Giorgia Meloni, to take over as prime minister.
Meloni, 45, who has campaigned on a motto of “God, country and family”, is hoping to become Italy‘s first female prime minister. Liberals shudder at the thought. In speeches Ms Meloni hammers away at illegal immigrants and “woke ideology”. She told American conservatives earlier this year that “our whole identity is under attack”, and has accused the European Union of being complicit in ethnic “replacement”.
A straight-speaking Roman raised by a single mum in a working-class neighbourhood, Meloni rails against what she calls “LGBT lobbies”, “woke ideology” and “the violence of Islam”. She has vowed to stop the tens of thousands of migrants who arrive on Italy’s shores each year, a position she shares with Salvini, who is currently on trial for blocking illegal alien Muslim invader ships when he was interior minister in 2019.
She defends and admires Viktor Orban, Hungary’s populist prime minister. Ms Meloni’s elevation would follow the Sweden Democrats’ success last week in becoming that country’s second-largest party, with a probable say in the next government. Marine Le Pen in France took 41% of the vote in her race against Emmanuel Macron in April.
All these are signs of a powerful shift in the European balance towards the nationalist hard right. Fed up with the failures of the established parties, voters are plumping for the untried and untested.

The UN and the EU are ENRAGED. One of the things that Meloni and Salvini want to prevent is the Mass Barbaric Genocide of Christians and Jews.
There’s an ongoing, worldwide Muslim Genocide of Christians. Every Non-Muslim country must hold an Annual MARCH for the MARTYRS.

WASHINGTON — Hundreds of Americans from around the country gathered on the National Mall Saturday for the third-annual March for the Martyrs.
Religious freedom advocates called on American Christians to learn from those overseas who chose to die rather than renounce their belief in Jesus Christ, saying that they should be willing to lay down their lives for their faith if they should ever have that opportunity………..

Quran (8:12) . “I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them”
Meloni and Salvini are urgently needed not just for Italy, but for all of Europe and Britain and every Non-Muslim nation on earth.
The UN and the EU and our Traitor, God-Hater governments have severely endangered the lives of every non-Muslim by heavily colonizing our formerly safe, Christian nations with the Armies of Barbarian Savage, Warlord Mohammad and Mohammad’s Dark Death god
The God of DEATH DESTRUCTION and MASS GENOCIDES of Non-Muslims
Mohammad’s God of ETERNAL DARKNESS.

Exit polls show her winning big time with Salvini and Berlusconi numbers accounted for. They are headed for the full control of both houses. Let us hope it holds.

AWESOME! Thanks for the update. Leaving the stable now, will check when I get home.
Classy Infidel says
They did everything to prevent her from winning. By lowering the voting age, they were hoping the younger people would vote Left. And by reducing the number of voting days from 2 to 1, they know older people vote for the status quo and they do not go to extremes. And older people are always among the first to vote.
I might be wrong but it looks like a slaughter for the Parliament seats, major big win for the Right.
Here are the changes:
‘Voters headed to the polls amid a number of new regulations, with voting hours also contained to one day rather than two.
Other changes included a younger voting age for the Senate and a reduction in the number of seats to elect — down from 685 seats to 400 in the Senate and from 315 to 200 in the lower House of Parliament.
That parliament is scheduled to meet on October 13, at which point the head of state will call on party leaders to decide on the shape of the new government.’

Finally! Some good news out of Europe.

The once free Europe grovels and caters to the Muslim cancer. Surely peace and security cannot be an objective.

I wonder what the EU’s response will be if they do win, especially after Von Der Leyens remarks the other day.

This will be fun to see: haughty ivory-tower Ursula must be nice to lowly loud-mouthed Sardinian-born female politician.

She didn’t have much to say when Erdogan and his partner left her standing. Women like this deserve no respect and get no respect. Cannon fodder.
