A political turn could occur from today's elections in Italy, because according to recent polls, the extremist right party “the brothers of Italy”, led by Giorgia Melon, is the strongest political force of about 25 percent, while the Social Democrats of Enrico Letta are expected to win about 22 percent of the vote.
About 51 million Italians have the right to vote this Sunday. But even though it comes to a vote with the fundamental impact on the country's leadership, according to election scholars, early parliamentary elections will be around 65 per cent. Recent polls were conducted 14 days ago, because Italian law on elections does not allow organising polls closer to the date of elections.
Surprises in the Italian electorate, which is difficult to predict, are possible. But according to Italian media most electoral researchers think that this Sunday, the surprise election of Giorgia Melon, which would be the first right-wing extremist to lead the country since dictator Benito Musolini's time.
The almost unanimous thought is that Giorgia Melon's team's chances of winning are only 60/40. Four years ago, in the last election, the “brothers of Italy” won about four percent. The great winners at the time were left populist “Movement Five Stars” and the right populist party “Lega”. The stars were the strongest party with over 32 percent. The league got 17 percent. And both invited more than polls predicted.
