Who would lead the right coalition? Berlusconi, Salvini or some more palatable face?
Salvini, probably. Berlusconi is old news and desperately trying to stay relevant and not to be overshadowed by Salvini (too late, by this poll). Salvini's leadership is noted for expanding its support outside of the north and mellowing on the anti-South rhetoric of the Bossi era. They want to win and they see Salvini as their PM candidate
Will Berlusconi ever participate in a coalition where he isn't the leader? I'd have thought his ego was too big for that.
