BREAKING NEWS: Voting has closed in Italy, with an exit poll indicating that the right-wing candidate Giorgia Meloni will become the country's first female prime minister. Sky's AdamParsons reports. Latest: 📺 Sky 501, Virgin 602 and Freeview 233

Voting has closed in Italy, with an exit poll indicating that the far-right leader of a party with neo-fascist roots will become the country's first female prime minister.

Giorgia Meloni's Brothers of Italy party won just over 4% in the 2018 election but an exit poll indicated it would win 22 to 26% of the vote. Overall the right-wing coalition is thought to have won between 41-45% of the vote, according to a Consorzio Opinio Italia poll for Rai. Sunday's election could move the country's politics sharply to the right at a critical time on the European continent, as countries struggle with energy prices and the war in Ukraine continues.

If she takes power, Ms Meloni would be both Italy's first female prime minister and the first far-right politician to become head of government in a

The categorization of her govt as far- right is in direct contrast to regimes currently running North America and most of Europe. But Sky et al would never categorize them as far left. The pendulum is indeed swinging and Italy not like to be the last. Alternating ensures balance.

Well, left woke ideology was pushing it too far. People are fed up with it. And we Eastern Europeans warned the West. Now you have it. No one to blame than lefts.

Wonder how Woke..ism will work in Italy now

This is incorrect ! She and her party is on pace to win over 50% of the vote !

Diversity, inclusion is a joke because racial minorities are extremely prejudice against people who do not belong to their race, religion & culture (& do not observe human rights themselves). A multicultural society is a disharmonious society, to be ashamed or not proud of

Congrats to the new Italian PM.

Hile Hitler

Birthplace of Facism!

What a God-awful decisions by Italians. Terrible.👎🏼

To the leftist media, anyone more moderate than Pol Pot is a 'Far Right Extremist.'

The 'far right' bogeyman strikes again.

🤯So what happened to the 74%

Brothers of Italy put a woman in charge, what's all that about

Tough times ahead for Europe. Is Rome on the cusp of Meloni? And a heap of fascist baloney? Sweden's lost too To the mad far right zoo The road ahead's rock-strewn and stony.

Excellent. The world needs more Rightwing, small-government Freedomlovers. We've had enough of the Leftwing Marxist Tyranny. It's time for brighter days of love and peace—where power is put back in the hands of the people and out of the hands of the ultranational globalist.

And with just 26% of the votes in their favor, they get to rule over 100% of the people's lives. Is this how democracy is supposed to work?

Anyone who’s not a a fascist leftist is considered FAR RIGHT, Scary!

That much disparity indicates the worth of exit polls.

This is the greatest surprise all my life to wake up and receive $16,000 out of $1000 investment after so many tries I finally found a Legit platform for investment. All thanks to Mrs Lauren_Flores_1 for making this possible. 🔽🔽🔽🔽 Lauren_Flores_1

Never hear or see the far left headlines, Coming from the far left propaganda machineukmedia

War is coming. Soon nobody will care about pronouns & other such minor thoughts.

If any non-lefties are all fascists, then all the lefties are communists. Simple as.

Far right 😂 centralist party you clown.

Far right 🙈

There’s far-right, and then there’s the imagined far-right of most bullshit media analysis.

Mattioli Canavano should have gone to Italy like his moma said. He might have got elected. He fits the profile.🤣🤣

'Far right' 🤣

Italians and fascists have a history.

Clearly, since they have just won a national election, their political positions cannot be fringe or 'far-right'. Obviously ScumMedia needs to recalibrate their political compass

Good. I hope this continues throughout Europe. far right It’s interesting how British news media love to go on about how ‘far right’ other world leaders or potential leaders are, but they wouldn’t describe Liz Truss like that, even though she has nearly identical policies. 🤷🏻
