The 2022 Italian general election was a

absolute majority of seats in the Italian Parliament.[5] Meloni was appointed Prime Minister of Italy on 22 October, becoming the first woman to hold the office.[6]

In a record-low

first-past-the-post of the system.[10][11][12]

As a result of the 2020 Italian constitutional referendum, the size of Parliament was reduced to 400 members of the Chamber of Deputies and 200 members of the Senate of the Republic to be elected, down from 630 and 315, respectively.[13][14] In addition, the minimum voting age for the Senate was the same as for the Chamber (18 years old and no longer 25), which marked the first time the two houses had identical electorates.[15]

Observers commented that the results shifted the

Meloni Cabinet was sworn in on 22 October,[24][25] and received parliamentary approval through two votes of confidence (one in each House of Parliament) a few days thereafter.[26][27][28]

Background

In the 2018 Italian general election, held on 4 March, no political group or party won an outright majority, resulting in a hung parliament.[29][30] The centre-right coalition, in which Matteo Salvini's League emerged as the main political force, won a plurality of seats in the Chamber of Deputies and in the Senate, while the anti-establishment Five Star Movement (M5S) led by Luigi Di Maio became the party with the largest number of votes. The centre-left coalition, led by Matteo Renzi of the governing Democratic Party (PD), came third.[31] Due to the PD and centre-left's poor results, Renzi resigned on 12 March, his place being taken ad interim by Maurizio Martina.[32][33]

The League continued the Italian nationalist turn it took into the 2018 general election. In October 2018, the League was founded as a sister party to promote Salvini's candidature as

souverainist party.[34] On 22 January 2020, four days before the regional elections, Di Maio resigned as the M5S leader, and was replaced ad interim by Vito Crimi.[35]

As a result of the hung parliament, protracted negotiations were required before a new government could be formed. The talks between the M5S and League resulted in the proposal of the self-declared

populist government" in Western Europe,[39][40][41] was sworn in on 1 June.[42]

The 2019 European Parliament election was a win for the League, which obtained 34 percent of the vote and 20 seats, more than any other party in the country.[43] In August 2019, Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini announced a motion of no confidence against Conte after growing tensions within the majority.[44][45] Many political analysts believe the no confidence motion was an attempt to force early elections to improve the League's standing in the Italian Parliament, ensuring Salvini could become the next prime minister.[46] On 20 August, following the parliamentary debate in which he accused Salvini of being a political opportunist who "had triggered the political crisis only to serve his personal interest",[47] Prime Minister Conte resigned his post to President Mattarella.[48] Meanwhile, the M5S started a decline in both opinion polls, deputies and senators, and election results, starting with the 2019 European Parliament election.[49] After the meagre results, Di Maio won a vote of confidence in his leadership and pledged to reform the party.[50][51] In the general election held in March 2018, the M5S had won 227 deputies and 112 senators; by February 2022, the party had declined to 157 deputies and 62 senators, though it remained the biggest party in the parliament.[52][53]

On 21 August President Mattarella started the consultations with all the

immigration policy.[54] As the talks resulted in an unclear outcome, President Mattarella announced a second round of consultation for 27 or 28 August.[55] In the days that preceded the second round, a confrontation between the PD and the M5S started,[56] while the left-wing parliamentary group LeU announced its support for a potential M5S–PD cabinet.[57] On 28 August, the PD's newly elected secretary Nicola Zingaretti announced at the Quirinal Palace his favourable position on forming a new government with the M5S, with Conte at its head.[58] On the same day, Mattarella summoned Conte to the Quirinal Palace for 29 August to give him the task of forming a new cabinet.[59] On 3 September, members of the M5S voted on the Rousseau platform in favour of an agreement with the PD under the premiership of Conte, with more than 79% of votes out of nearly 80,000 voters.[60] On 4 September, Conte announced the ministers of his new cabinet, which was sworn in at the Quirinal Palace on the following day.[61] On 18 September, Renzi left the PD to found the liberal party Italia Viva (IV); he then joined the government with IV to keep the League and Salvini out of power.[62]

In October 2019 Parliament approved the Fraccaro Reform, named after Riccardo Fraccaro, the M5S deputy who was the bill's first signatory.[63] The fourth and final vote in the Chamber of Deputies came on 8 October 2019, with 553 votes in favour and 14 against. In the final vote, the bill was supported by both the majority and the opposition;[64] only the liberal party More Europe (+E) and other small groups voted against.[65] The reform provided a cut in the number of MPs, which would shrink from 630 to 400 deputies and from 315 to 200 senators.[66] On 20–21 September 2020, Italians largely approved the reform with nearly 70% of votes through a constitutional referendum.[67]

Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte in 2020

In January 2020, Italy became one of the countries worst affected by the

technocrats and politicians from the League, M5S, PD, FI, IV, and LeU.[77][78] Giorgia Meloni's Brothers of Italy (FdI) was the sole main party at the opposition.[79]

In March 2021, the PD's secretary Zingaretti resigned after growing tensions within the PD, with the party's minority accusing him for the management of the government crisis.[80] Many prominent members of the party asked to former Prime Minister Enrico Letta to become the new leader; on 14 March, he was elected as the new secretary by the PD's national assembly.[81][82] In August 2021, Conte was elected president of the M5S.[83] In February 2022, a Naples' court ruled in favour of three M5S activists, suspending Conte's presidency.[84] On 19 February, Conte appealed to the court's decision,[85] on the grounds that he was not aware of the 2018 party statute, which provided for the exclusion from voting of those who had joined the M5S for less than six months, and the voting procedure was valid.[86]

Giorgia Meloni, main leader of the opposition to the Draghi government

In the Italian presidential election held in late January 2022,[87][88][89] President Mattarella was re-elected, despite having ruled out a second term, after the governing parties asked him to do so when no other candidate was viable.[90][91][92]

The

military aid to Ukraine, followed by the Senate on 31 March 2022.[94][95] Despite having voted in favour of military aid, the Five Star Movement, the League and Forza Italia later became increasingly critical of support to Ukraine, causing tensions in the majority.[96]

dissolved the Italian Parliament
following Draghi's resignation.

During summer 2022, rumours arose that M5S might withdraw its support of the national unity government, including allegations that Draghi privately criticized Conte and asked M5S founder Beppe Grillo to replace him.[97][98] This came amid tension between the M5S and the Draghi government on economic and environmental issues,[99][100] and the Russo-Ukrainian War, which also caused a split within the M5S. In June 2022, Di Maio formed Together for the Future (IpF), which continued to support the Draghi government.[101][102]

On 12 July, Draghi stated he would resign if the M5S withdraws its support to the government.

2021 energy crisis. On the same day, Draghi resigned; his resignation was rejected by Mattarella.[104] On 21 July, Draghi resigned again after a new confidence vote in the Senate failed to pass with an absolute majority, following defections of the M5S, the League, and FI.[105][106][107] Mattarella accepted Draghi's resignation and asked him to remain in place to handle current affairs.[108][109]
On the following day, Mattarella officially dissolved the parliament and the snap election was called for 25 September 2022.[110][111][112]

Electoral campaign

Following the dissolution of Parliament, the electoral campaign officially began. Within the

lesser of two evils as the only coalition that could beat the right,[120][121] in large part due the electoral law, which Letta defined as the worst ever made.[122]

On 26 July,

fall of the Draghi government.[129]

On 28 July, the

post-fascist roots, and sought to promote her party as being mainstream conservative.[8][20]

On 29 July, the campaign was marked by the murder of Alika Ogorchukwu, a Nigerian migrant who was killed with bare hands and crutches by an Italian man in a street in Civitanova Marche.[134] The murderer, a 32-year-old Italian, said that he acted because Ogorchukwu had been begging insistently.[135] The murder was filmed by passers-by and made the front page of Italian newspapers on 29 July. The political class expressed its indignation following the murder, and the left and the right accused each other: the progressive parties and several commentators accused the right of spreading racist propaganda,[136][137][138] while the right-wing parties accused the left of appropriating the murder.[139]

On 2 August, Letta's PD signed an alliance with Calenda's Action party and Benedetto Della Vedova's More Europe (+E).[146] On 6 August, PD signed another pact with AVS and IC.[147][148] These alliances caused tensions between Letta and Calenda. The latter, being a strong supporter of economic liberalism and nuclear power, considered impossible a coalition between his own party and the red–green alliance.[149] On 7 August, Calenda broke the alliance with PD.[150] +E, led by Della Vedova and Emma Bonino, decided to remain in the centre-left coalition with PD, marking the end of the federation between them and Calenda's party.[151] On 11 August, Matteo Renzi's Italia Viva (IV) and A signed an agreement to create a centrist alliance led by Calenda, using IV's symbol to avoid collecting signatures for Calenda's party.[152] Despite Draghi's dismissal, Calenda and Renzi said they would push for Draghi to remain as prime minister, should they win enough seats.[153] They also ran a pro-nuclear power and pro-regasification campaign as solutions for the ongoing energy crisis.[154]

Electoral posters in Cascina, Tuscany

On 22 August, Meloni tweeted a video of a rape committed by a 27-year-old Guinean asylum seeker against a 55-year-old Ukrainian woman in the city of Piacenza, Emilia-Romagna.[155][156][157] Letta immediately labeled Meloni as "indecent", adding that "the Italian right-wing has no respect for the victim, not caring about her rights", while Calenda stated that Meloni should be ashamed of herself.[158] Meloni accused Letta of lying, saying that the video was taken from the official website of the newspaper Il Messaggero, adding that she did not have to apologize because it was done for solidarity with the victim.[159] On 24 August, the rape victim stated that she was desperate for having been recognized by someone in the video of the attack.[160] On the same day, the video was removed by Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram due to violations of the social media's policies.[161]

On 5 September, when asked about his opinions on the Italian election, former United States president

Sicilia, with 37.8% of the vote.[171]

On 23 September, the centre-right coalition held a large rally in Rome, with closing statements and remarks from the main leaders of the alliance.[172] On the same day, the other main coalitions and their leaders (PD, M5S, and A–IV) held their final rallies.[173] On the day before the election, Ursula von der Leyen, the president of the European Commission, was asked about possible Vladimir Putin allies in the Italian political system and the upcoming election, to which she replied that "if things go in a difficult direction, I've spoken about Hungary and Poland, we have tools." The comment garnered a strong backlash from some Italian politicians, especially from Salvini and Renzi.[174][175] According to Italian law, election silence was enforced over all the national territory on 24 September.[176]

Electoral debates

Differently from many other Western countries, electoral debates between parties' leaders are not so common before general elections in Italy;[190][191] the last debate between the two main candidates to prime ministry dated back to the 2006 Italian general election between Silvio Berlusconi and Romano Prodi.[192] With few exceptions, almost every main political leader had denied his participation to an electoral debate with other candidates,[193] preferring interviews with TV hosts and journalists,[194][195][196] while many debates took place between other leading members of the main parties.[197]

The 2022 election saw the first debates between the main leaders in 16 years. On 23 August, some prominent leaders of the centre-right (Meloni, Salvini, Tajani, and Lupi) and of the centre-left (Letta and Di Maio) were jointly interviewed by Luciano Fontana during the Rimini Meeting, organized by the Catholic movement Communion and Liberation.[198] Moreover, Fontana also interviewed the main parties' leaders at the Ambrosetti Forum on 4 September, and hosted a debate between Letta and Meloni on the website of Corriere della Sera, the newspaper of which he serves as director.[199]

After the

first-past-the-post (FPTP) be redesigned.[201] By August 2022, the electoral reform was bogged down in the Chamber's Constitutional Affairs Commission and a proposal by M5S deputy Giuseppe Brescia had been presented to the Italian Parliament but by that time it was already dissolved for snap elections.[202] Single-member district changes were approved and published on 30 December 2020 in Gazzetta Ufficiale, the Italian government gazette.[203] The Chamber was reduced from 232 to 147 districts, and Senate districts were reduced from 116 to 74.[14]

Lists of candidates in a polling station

The 400 deputies are to be elected, using mixed-member majoritarian representation, as follows:[204]

  • 147 in single-member constituencies by plurality (FPTP).
  • 245 in multi-member constituencies by national proportional representation.
  • 8 in multi-member abroad constituencies by constituency proportional representation.

The 200 elective senators, also using mixed-member majoritarian representation, are to be elected as follows:[204]

  • 74 in single-member constituencies by plurality (FPTP).
  • 122 in multi-member constituencies by regional proportional representation.
  • 4 in single-member abroad constituencies by plurality (FPTP).
Electoral package sent to an Italian voter in South America

For Italian residents, each house member is to be elected in single ballots, including the

constituency candidate and their supporting party lists. In each single-member constituency, the deputy or senator is elected on a plurality basis, while the seats in multi-member constituencies are allocated nationally. In order to be calculated in single-member constituency results, parties need to obtain at least 1% of the national vote and be part of a coalition obtaining at least 10% of the national vote. In order to receive seats in multi-member constituencies, parties need to obtain at least 3% of the national vote. Elects from multi-member constituencies would come from closed lists.[205]

The voting paper, which is a single one for the FPTP and the proportional systems, shows the names of the candidates to single-member constituencies and in close conjunction with them the symbols of the linked lists for the proportional part, each one with a list of the relative candidates.[206] The voter is able to cast their vote in three different ways, among them:[207]

  • Drawing a sign on the symbol of a list. In this case, the vote extends to the candidate in the single-member constituency that is supported by that list.
  • Drawing a sign on the name of the candidate of the single-member constituency and another one on the symbol of one list that supports them; the result is the same as that described above. Under penalty of annulment, the panachage is not allowed, so the voter cannot vote simultaneously for a candidate in the FPTP constituency and for a list which is not linked to them.
  • Drawing a sign only on the name of the candidate for the FPTP constituency, without indicating any list. In this case, the vote is valid for the candidate in the single-member constituency and also automatically extended to the list that supports them; however, if that candidate is connected to several lists, the vote is divided proportionally between them, based on the votes that each one has obtained in that constituency.

Opinion polls

Main article: Opinion polling for the 2022 Italian general election
Local regression trend line of poll results from 4 March 2018 to the election day, with each line corresponding to the 2022 general election party lists

Since July 2022, when the snap election was first called,

majoritarian system,[5] opinion polls showed that the FdI-led centre-right coalition was highly favoured to win the election with a comfortable majority,[211][212] in what would be the most right-wing government in the history of the Italian Republic according to some academics.[213]

Some mid-July polls showed that the only way to avoid a right-wing alliance victory or to make the election more competitive was the formation of a large big tent coalition including the Democratic Party (PD), minor left-wing and centrist parties, and the PD's 2019–2021 government ally, the Five Star Movement.[214][215][216] Early August polls showed the Action – Italia Viva (Third Pole) split from the centre-left coalition would not be influential in single-member districts but could cost votes for the centre-left in some competitive districts.[217]

Voter turnout

Voter turnout was the lowest in the history of republican Italy at 63.9%,[7] about 9 percentage points below the 2018 election.[5]

After the polls closed at 23:00 CEST,[8] multiple Italian broadcasters published exit polls that projected the centre-right coalition would win a majority of seats in both the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate of the Republic.[10][11][12] The vote count certified the victory of the centre-right coalition led by Brothers of Italy (FdI), which went from 4% in 2018 to 26%.[18]

The centre-right coalition won the absolute majority of seats in both houses of Parliament, with 237 seats in the Chamber and 115 in the Senate. First within the alliance came FdI (26.0%), followed by the

first-past-the-post (FPTP) system. The centre-left coalition slightly improved its 2018 popular vote result but came a distant second in terms of seats, 85 in the Chamber and 44 in the Senate, winning only a few more FPTP seats than the Five Star Movement (M5S). The leading party in the centre-left coalition was the Democratic Party (19.0%), followed by the Greens and Left Alliance (3.6%), which won 12 seats in the Chamber and 4 in the Senate; More Europe narrowly missed the national proportional threshold (3%), while Civic Commitment also failed to reach the 1% threshold but both won 2 seats and 1 seat in the Chamber, respectively. The M5S saw its vote more than halved and won 52 seats in the Chamber and 28 in the Senate but defied single-digits polls in July 2022 by winning 15.4% of the popular vote, thanks in part to a strong performance in Southern Italy. Due to FPTP seats, the League was able to gain more seats in both chambers than the M5S and barely less than the PD (69 to 66 in the Chamber and 40 to 30 in the Senate), despite polling half than the PD and about a third of the M5S in the popular vote. The centrist list composed of Action and Italia Viva (Third Pole) won 21 seats in the Chamber and 9 in the Senate, with 7.8% of the vote.[5][18][218] Using the Gallagher index, the disproportionality of the Chamber in the election was 12.31 and 10.83 for the Senate; for comparison, the disproportionality in the 2018 election for both houses was 5.50 and 6.12. According to political analyst Wolfango Piccoli, an estimated 30% of voters chose a different party than the one they had voted for in 2018.[16]

In Sicily, the party South calls North won 1 seat in the Chamber and 1 in the Senate. Linguistic minorities representatives like Aosta Valley and the South Tyrolean People's Party also won seats, as well as the Italians-abroad party Associative Movement of Italians Abroad.[219]

Aftermath

Analysis

In a record-low

far-right head of government of a major eurozone country,[232] and its first far-right leader since Benito Mussolini,[20][21] and lead the most right-wing government since World War II.[16]

According to observers, the result of the Italian election, together with far-right gains in the 2022 Spanish regional elections in February and June, the 2022 French legislative election in April, and the 2022 Swedish general election earlier on 11 September shifted the geopolitics of Europe.[16][18][19] Historian Ruth Ben-Ghiat described Meloni as "an avowed fan of Mussolini", and she argued that her government, apart from being led for the first time by a woman, which Hillary Clinton said it would represent "a break with the past, and that is certainly a good thing",[233][234] to which she responded "Meloni would also represent continuity with Italy's darkest episode: the interwar dictatorship of Benito Mussolini".[210] Historian Timothy Garton Ash argued that "Meloni is undoubtedly an anti-immigration, rightwing populist, a strong social conservative and a Eurosceptic nationalist ... Reactionary and nationalist Meloni's ideology may be, but it has little if any of the glorification of martial violence, let alone the actual violence, that are characteristic of fascism."[235][236]

The centre-right coalition successfully took advantage of the

LUISS University in Rome, stated that Meloni is "not raising up at all questions on women's rights and empowerment in general".[21]

Political scientist Lorenzo Castellani commented that the stability and durability of a right-wing government depended on the final results. He said that, at 44%, the Meloni-led coalition "can govern in a much more stable way, without problems". At 42%, they would have had a smaller majority, while a 46–47% result could have given them the necessary first-past-the-post seats to reach the two-thirds supermajority and approve constitutional reforms without a referendum.[20] Observers, such as political scientist Giovanni Orsina, said that far-right supporters would be disappointed by a Meloni government because she is now part of the mainstream right like the Conservative Party in the United Kingdom.[237]

Reactions

Politics

The

Madrid Charter with Meloni, also celebrated her victory, saying he and Meloni chose a similar slogan.[242]

2023 PD leadership election.[243] Debora Serracchiani, a senior PD lawmaker, said that it was "a sad evening for the country", adding: "[The right] has the majority in parliament, but not in the country."[8] Giuseppe Conte, leader of the M5S, said he would lead an "uncompromising opposition" and commented: "We will be the outpost for the progressive agenda against inequalities, to protect families and businesses in difficulty, to defend the rights and values of our Constitution."[21]

Biden administration was reportedly worried by the results but pledged for cooperation,[19] while prominent Republican Party members celebrated FdI's results. Antony Blinken, United States Secretary of State, commented: "We are eager to work with Italy's government on our shared goals: supporting a free and independent Ukraine, respecting human rights and building a sustainable economic future."[8][245]

About a Meloni-led government, Stefano Stefanini, Italy's former ambassador to NATO, stated: "The faithful need to know that her government would be tough on immigration, critical of the EU, and based on traditional values. Moderates, markets and the foreign allies want continuity."[246] Ukraine's president Volodymyr Zelenskyy congratulated Meloni on her victory and expressed interest in collaborating with her government, especially in regard to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[247] The Russian government was reported to be pleased by the results. Kremlin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov said: "We are ready to welcome any political forces that are able to go beyond the established mainstream, which is filled with hate for our country ... and show willingness to be constructive in relations with our country."[237]

Several politicians also congratulated Meloni, especially centre-right and right-wing politicians worldwide, including in Australia,[248][249] France,[249] Germany,[249] Hungary,[249] Poland[249] and Spain.[249]

News press and others

The

Times of Israel, The Wall Street Journal,[258] and The Washington Post,[259][260] commented the results as a right-wing shift, and several of them described it as the first time that a far-right political party won an Italian election since the end of the Second World War.[20][21]

French newspaper Libération portrayed the election result as "post-fascism in power",[261] as well as a "European earthquake".[262] while the German Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung commented that "Meloni is not the devil",[263] and that "the economy hopes for stability".[264] Die Zeit observed that whether Meloni would form a new government depends on President Mattarella.[265] In Britain, the Financial Times wrote that "Giorgia Meloni's victory merits concern but not panic",[266] having tapped into "Italians' wish for radical change",[267] and cited the "economic storm" she would have to face,[268] while The Economist reported that business group were preparing to work with the right-wing government, wanting to maintain the cordial relations regardless of who is leading the government as is custom.[269]

As per constitutional convention, the new government formation are preceded by rounds of talks between party leaders and President of Italy, Sergio Mattarella,[281][282][283] which took place on 20–21 October.[284][285][286] On 21 October, Mattarella gave Meloni the task of forming a new government, which was officially sworn in on the following day.[24][25] The talks were marred by controversy within the centre-right coalition, in particular between Silvio Berlusconi and Meloni, whom Berlusconi described as "patronising, overbearing, arrogant" and "offensive" in a series of written notes in the Senate.[287][288][289] Additionally, Berlusconi's views of the Russian invasion of Ukraine and Vladimir Putin, with whom he said he was rekindling their friendship and claimed to have received vodka as gift and exchanged letters,[290][291] during a group session with his own party were leaked through an audio.[292][293][294] Meloni declared that "Italy, with its head high, is part of Europe and the Atlantic alliance", before adding: "Whoever doesn't agree with this cornerstone cannot be part of the government, at the cost of not having a government."[295][296]
