Italy: Right-wing parties win regional Italian election

[Independent voter]

ROME — A coalition of right-wing Italian parties won a regional election in Abruzzo, which pit the country's ruling parties against one another, results on Monday showed.

The right-wing alliance, which includes the League, the Brothers of Italy and Silvio Berlusconi’s Forza Italia won 48 percent, toppling a center-left coalition that took second place with 31.3 percent.

The League won almost 28 percent of the vote, doubling its showing at last year’s general election, but its national ruling coalition partner, the anti-establishment 5Star Movement, finished third with just over 20 percent, about half its score in the general election.

Is the success of right wing parties something new? Is it just a reaction to socialist governments?

The left party has never been in the government in sweden.

Well de facto that is true, but given how the support party system works in Sweden, they have for all intents and purposes.

And now for a relevant reaction;

[JohnBrown1917]

Provided no presidents and has been death for over 50 years.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left_Party_(Sweden)

Was never in the government.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finnis...ocratic_League

Been a few decades, but sure, they where in the gov coalition.

Wiki even says they became centre-left in the 70s.

When they were in power, France wasn't a presidential republic.

Was never in the government.

You need to learn how governments work in Sweden, it's a bit different to other multiparty states.

Been a few decades, but sure, they where in the gov coalition.

Their successor party has been in government since, last time just a couple of years ago.

Yes, and never is a very long time.

When we are all in the camps, remember this.... The left did this by being such shocking human being.

The Greek Socialist Party (PASOK) was in control of Greek government for many years.
With the expected results. Greek economy is now a meme

Does not change they where never in it.

Thats nice. Does not change they have fuck-all to do with anything current.

The only country two countries that really haven't had socialist parties in government are UK and Ireland. I left out Belgium, Netherlands, Germany and Austria out because you would wave the "social democrat" card even though those parties were more umbrella parties for many socialists back in the day.

But all those that I listed are definitely socialist.

They went full neo-lib anyway, not to mention this is about west Europe.

Nah, the dutch soc dems where never in any coalitions with socialists after WWII(when they got in power), you're just widening the defintion of socialist parties so far it includes all parties left of the center, this is hopeless.

Socialist parties are socialist. Deal with it.

"You are not even Swedish"?! What the hell does that have to do with it. Absolutely nothing.

PS. I'm half Swedish.

It was as a counter to hub blaming the current trend on socialism lol

And a false one. Congrats for being an idiot with an agenda.
