Italy Goes Populist-Rightist

This was a pretty-sure thing 4 weeks ago.

Now it's (almost) official.

...according to early exit polls out of Italy's national election, the right-wing bloc of Giorgia Meloni - which the ultra-left wing press just can't stop comparing to Mussolini - is set for a historic, if largely expected, victory and a clear majority (if, however, not a super-majority) which will propel Meloni to the top of the Italian government as the country's next prime minister, ushering in a historic right-wing shift for a country that - like Sweden until two weeks ago - has traditionally been very left-wing....

There are three other partners in the rightist coalition:  the League (formerly Northern League) and Forza Italia, headed by Berlusconi.  It is expected that these two will assent to Meloni becoming PM.

The EU dictator-ette will be PO'd.  Let's see what that brings. 

MORE:  The NYSlimes is attacking this woman with slanders, implied slanders, lies, and vituperative bile.  They're better at it than the Little Local Pravda's GoodGollyMissMolly (of course,) but it's the same game, same target.

Ace put together a few short cuts from her speeches and they are worth every second.

Pro Dio!!  Pro Famiglia!  Pro Patria!!
