I thought 5 star was who the media were crying about the most and salvini kind of blind sided everyone

No they were pretty scared of lega

Yes, very notable italians, with very strong jaw lines

John Oliver said that 5 Star was like the ukip of Italy, where as salvini was a "new mussolini"

Media doesn't like five star because antiestablishment, but its lega that really gets their blood boiling

I get they were scared of lega but it seems like 5 star was who they focused on

5 Star was a huge chunk of votes

Probably because 5 star was way more powerful

And the EU is scared of 5 Star

^^

This is when the election was going on

The reason league wasnt as attacked as strongly is because they expected them to stay in the center right coalition and for Berlusconi to get more votes

Lega was excepted to do well but not dominate their coalition

Yeah forza almost crashed as hard as PD

You can't be pro immigration in italy anymore and expect to win elections, which of course, is a good thing

Not that forza was really ever pro immigrant, but pd was for sure

Salvini also while the face of lega for a while, is now the face of the Italian establishment. You hear very little about Conte.

Salvini dominates Italian politics.

I'd say he has a good chance at the PM position later down the line but I'm not so sure that's a great idea honestly

@Kingfish Absolutely. If they have another election soon lega will probably explode

He seems quite well off running the show from A smaller position without as much of the heat.

In a good way

Yeah, he runs the rhetoric more than the administration

Yeah he really defines the new regime without having to actually take the heat of leading it

Which is a pretty ideal position for ambitious men who wish to maintain and extend power

Although, to be fair, he takes a lot of heat anyway, probably more than conte. He just doesn't have to focus on the nuts and bolts

Yeah he absolute does take a lot of the heat through media and threats, but he's got a few hurdles he can stand behind

Yeah, I get that, he kind of lacks vulnerability

And he's pushed the window of discourse way further to the right, especially on immigration. He basically forced 5S to come along to a lite version of his own ideas

yeah he's managed to reign in 5star under his wing to a good extent. I think he will only continue to do so.

Excellent production quality. Prolly that Rebel-el-el money.

@Bjorn - MD 10 minutes in is too much. These people could be any one of us.

I want to make a doc like that about the 30k white women raped in the US every year my poc.

I heard for so many years that whites in SA live in “gated communities.” It’s so insidiously misleading.

@Deleted User Yeah...
