Italian Elections and Politics 2018: Yellow Tide

[Double Carpet]

Italy has the latest poll closing anywhere in the world I think

Not quite sure why it has to be so late when France/Spain are 8pm, Germany 6pm (and Austria 5pm!)

Does anyone have links for Italian TV stations which won't be geoblocked? (ideally Italian TV not an English-language channel)

Thanks!

Ok have found this!

and, I'm sure someone's already explained, so apologies, but are voters allowed to vote for a FPTP candidate of Party A and then Party B in the PR section, or not?

Thanks!

Thanks I think I get it now, mille grazie!

So in that respect it's totally different to Germany, Scotland, Wales, where you can split your vote.

What coalition/PM do people think will emerge from the results?

One more question - is Berlusconi barred from being PM specifically, or holding any elected office?

Could he be eg Foreign Minister in a coalition government?

Thanks

Thanks Franco.

True - and Israel is also 10pm I think, but these are both weekdays.

But Italy votes on Sunday - I can't see any reason why you'd want polling stations open later than 8pm on a Sunday?

Although Italy used to be Sunday and then Monday to early afternoon, so maybe the long Sunday hours are a holdover from that?
