Preview and reports of regional elections in Italy, 28-29 March 2010. The elections were largely seen as a key test of Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's popularity after a year dominated by political and personal scandals, and economic recession. Thirteen out of 20 regions were involved in the vote. The results with almost all votes tallied showed Mr Berlusconi’s coalition heading for victory in possibly six regions, with the centre-left hanging on to seven. The real winners in the election were seen as the 'no vote' by some 35% of Italians who stayed away, and the hardline Northern League that is allied to Mr Berlusconi but has proved to be a difficult coalition partner in the past. |
