I wish we could have kept the old thread going!

Who is this Cuperlo? Could Renzi really be stopped again?

The corrupt establishment leftists will have their say. This won't be a landslide.

This Civati guy seems like he could be the wildcard. He's young and is (or at least was) willing to team up with M5S to prevent the current coalition government. He's to Renzi's left so that should take some of the leftist vote from Cuperlo but is also anti establishment which could lure some Renzi/undecided folks, I'd imagine. Pitella seems irrelevant.

Silvio still looking to Alfano for help, urging his side to align with FI to defeat the left. Berlusconi even asked his supporters not to attack Alfano and Co. - http://www.presstv.ir/detail/2013/11/17/335053/berlusconi-seeks-to-form-new-alliance/

Good to see it is close amongst the party faithful. Need some excitement instead of a coronation! Cheesy

I saw that it was officially a cyclone: six months worth of rain in a day. Sad

Check out the map La Repubblica put together for the results from the "party circles" - http://www.repubblica.it/politica/2013/11/19/news/primarie_pd_il_voto_nei_circoli_regione_per_regione_mappa-71368260/

Renzi did best in Campania (+25) while Cuperlo's strongest region was Molise (+29). Emilia-Romagna was the closest: Cuperlo by about one point. Cuperlo also took Sicily and Basilicata.

Berlusconi ousted. Il Giornale running a flash page on their site: "FINE DELLA LIBERTĄ" in several languages.

Oh, this electoral law decision should be fun.  Smiley  Please give us a system that people can at least partly understand!

As for the new symbol, yeah, it leaves a lot to be desired but at least it isn't another party that just threw the tricolor in there.

I knew I was forgetting something today!

So Renzi got a landslide. Yawn. Had no idea LN had a primary and that Bossi was running. What a great embarrassment for him.

Though I had hoped for a close competitive battle, it's a great victory for right leaning Italians.

What's the feeling amongst the public with all of this? Is there backlash over how Renzi is swooping in (I'd think there has to be some since even the most ardent PD/Renzi fans here think this is a mistake) or are they just happy that Letta is leaving?

What's Silvio saying about all of this?  Tongue

Wow. Let me guess: he'll meet with the Pope sometime, too?

Francesco Pigliaru (CS) wins the Regional Elections in Sardegna.
With the 72,2% of the votes in, Pigliaru is in the lead with the 42,5%. The incumbent Cappellacci (CD) is at 39,3%. Michela Murgia (Ind) at 10,5%, Mario Pili (Ind of CD) at 5,9%, Pier Franco Devias (Ind) at 1% and Luigi Sanna (Ind) at 0,7%.

On the votes to the lists, with the 65,9% of votes in, Democratic Party is at 22,4%. Forza Italia at 18,4%, Udc at 7,4%.

Sad

What does this bring the center-right regional governments down to? Two (Calabria and Campania)? Embarrassing.

+Lombardia+Veneto+Lazio+Abbruzzo+Piemonte (though I think the latter could change)

Let's be clear: the fascist traitors are not to be counted as "center-right." Also, Lazio is now with PD after the Polverini debacle.

Probably see a small bump in the polls, to be honest.

"OMG FILIPPO WHY R U DEFENDING HIM?!? DISGUSTING AND TYPICAL!!!"

I'm not.

Glad we got that out of the way.

"A Berlusconi stalwart, former education minister Mariastella Gelmini, dismissed the flap as campaign propaganda."

Lol, ok.

The weirdest part is that it seems like there was absolutely 0 reason to even approach that topic in the first place.

Forza Italia's campaign is purely anti-german.
Their motto is "more Italy and less Germany in the EU"...

Right and they did it last year, too. And don't you think that works?

Berlusconi has been acquitted in the Ruby the Heart Stealer/underage sex case. The ban on serving in elected office is now lifted.

Shocked Really no idea what happened. I can't help but wonder if Napolitano had some influence in this.

No. The sentence under which he is banned from holding office for 6 years had nothing to do with this case.

Just reporting what I saw from several media sources (none of which were Il Giornale Wink ).
