- Polling hours are: Sunday 8-22; Monday 7-15:00 - Partial urntout figures will be given at 12:00, 19:00 and 22:00 on Monday - Counting will start immediately on Monday at 15:00 directly at polling stations - We should have istant polls at 15:00 (but there were rumours yesterday that RAI didn't want to give them, first counting projection at 16:00, definitive projections by 19:00) - Exit polls got it wrong in 2006. Projections are usually reliable (after the first, when the sample coverage becomes larger) as they are based on observations of real votes counted in a sample of polling stations. - You can follow results with polling stations being added as the count proceeds looking at Interior Ministry website. I will give you the link on Monday -As for rumours, it seems Grillo got his momentum back and he should comfortably beat Monti for third place.

"The interior ministry put voting for the lower house in the first four hours at 14.9% of eligible voters, down from 16.5% at the same point in the 2008 election. Polling stations open again on Monday at 08:00 and close at 15:00. First results are expected in the early evening. Some 47 million eligible voters are electing both chambers of parliament - the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate." www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-21563333 |

Interesting that in the 2006 Italian election the number of votes cast was 38.2 million; the most votes ever recorded in a UK election was 33.6 million in 1992. The UK has a slightly larger population than Italy. I wasn't aware turnout was so much higher in Italy compared to the UK, although it may be something to do with the ageing population in Italy.

Looks messy. IIRC Italy's had problems in recent years with the two chambers clashing with both claiming mandates.

well the italians deserve all they can get. Basically a crook has once again led the polls, total disgrace and Italians should be shocked at themselves, I doubt they are.
In other countries we would call this a corrupt election, but as he is not a muslim, so guess that will not happen.

Berlusconi does have the advantage of owning a lot of the Italian media.
But don't forget, he's not running for president. These are legislative elections. Plenty of people will be voting for his party whether he's its leader or not.

how could anyone vote for a party that he leads, a crook, a sexual molester and all the rest.
The Italians we know take a totally different slant on it all and it must make good honest politicans of the left and right there despair.

Sadly, just because a crook wins, doesn't mean the election was crooked. Though it may mean the electorate need a slap round the head. |
