The right-wing coalition led by Giorgia Meloni’s Brothers of Italy party has approached a support milestone, recording 49.8% of voter approval for Italy’s September 25 election, according to a survey by the Tecne research institute, which it reported Bloomberg.
A strong election result from Meloni’s bloc could see it muster enough votes in parliament to reach a two-thirds majority. This would allow the Right to push for changes to the constitution, possibly including enhanced powers for the prime minister’s office or the direct election of the country’s president.
The poll, which gauged voter support for the country’s lower house elections, put the centre-left bloc led by the Democratic Party at 30% and the Five Star Movement – once the country’s top party – at 10.2% . A newly formed centrist group was at 4.8%.
The right-wing coalition, made up of Meloni’s party, Matteo Salvini’s League and former prime minister Silvio Berlusconi’s Forza Italia, steadily gained ground after the Democrat-led bloc failed to broaden its support by attracting centrist forces. The Brothers of Italy scored 24.3% in the survey, leading all parties.
Meloni, speaking in an interview with British weekly The Spectator, signaled that she would see a landslide victory as a mandate to amend the constitution, calling Italy’s current electoral system “politically fragile and therefore unstable”.
