Italy appears to have voted in its first Fascist leader since Benito Mussolini. The main winner in yesterday's national elections has been Giorgia Meloni's Brothers of Italy, a party which traces its roots back to Mussilini's National Fascist Party.
Sunday's election saw an historic low turnout of just 63.91% of the electorate. The Right Alliance (consisting of Brothers of Italy, Forza Italia, League and Us Moderates) will now form the next Italian government, having won a majority of seats in both the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate of the Republic.
You can explore the Italian election results on The Guardian's Italian Election 2022: Live Official Results. The Guardian's results page includes an interactive map which shows the winning coalition in each electoral seat. You can hover over individual seats on this map to view a breakdown of the votes cast for the 'Right Alliance', 'Left Alliance', 'Five Star', 'Center Alliance' and 'Other'.
Corriere Della Sera's Election Results 2022 also includes an interactive map which shows the winning coalition in each electoral district. Both The Guardian's and Corriere Della Sera's maps show that the Right Alliance has been the most popular coalition in seats across the whole country. If you click on individual seats on the Corriere Della Sera map you will be taken to a more detailed breakdown of the results in that seat.

Fascist? Really? How so?
Fascist? Is that a joke? Anything conservative is automatically fascist now? That's possibly the most ignorant thing I've heard.
Be careful!!! Because now the fascists from Italy will close your blog:):):)
Giorgia Meloni leads a political party with the same logo as the fascist MSI. She was actually a member of the Fascist MSI party. She has praised both Mussolini and the fascist Giorgio Almirante. She believes in a fascist ideology.
I'm not sure how much more proof you need.
I think I will need i bit more proof, actually: What in the policy of Meloni and The Brothers of Italy is fascist? Do they e.g. want to abolish democracy?
So being a member of the MSI fascist party is not enough proof for you that she is a fascist?
Her filmed support for the fascist dictator Benito Mussolini is not enough proof for you?
If you support fascists and fascism then you are a fascist. You might want to think twice about your own support for the fascist Gioria Meloni and what that says about your own political ideology.
I am not a supporter. I am just not sure about wether she is a fascist, other than being guilty by association. I would need some more information about her political platform and stance on political issues before I would call her (and the party) fascist.
It would be lovely if it were a joke.
