HOUSE 50%, SENATE 80% (none / 0)

House at 50.59% stands left 51.44% : 47.96% right.

Senate at 80.84% stands left 49.52% : 49.64% right.

I'd say House can still be won.

Re: HOUSE 50%, SENATE 80% (none / 0)

At least Sicilia catches up: Senate 73.68% counted.

But if the trend of sicily countinues it is going to kill us in the Camera... I hope there is some city down there lacking to report...5 points below the worst case scenario... this is.. jesus...what the hell are they thinking!!!

Indeed I see that it is mainly Palermo and Catania that is behind the counting, so far both show large CdL leads that may or may not be because of villages around the cities.

Re: HOUSE 50%, SENATE 80% (none / 0)

House will reproduce the results of the senate basically regarding the total vote. If you win the majority of the vote you win the majority of the Camera due to the new electoral law.

So we have to see what the total outcome in number of votes of the senate is.

Am I wrong?

Basically, but not in detail. The party constellations are different - a lot of the smaller are in larger formations for the House race.

Re: HOUSE 50%, SENATE 80% (none / 0)

Well, in which direction. If we lose the ttoal vote in the senate, can we win the house? Please, tell me so... I am still waiting for the good news of Ritter. But I do not see them.

Re: HOUSE 50%, SENATE 80% (none / 0)

Yes, that effect can be expected to be positive for the House. AQnd indeed the differences at the same level of counting are always higher for the House so far.

Re: HOUSE 50%, SENATE 80% (none / 0)

Excellent news this last one.
Thanks Dodo.. I am looking closely Campania and Lazio. If the two parties (Pietro and Rosa) cross the 3% in both of them we could win the seante with an statistical tie.. but I do not see this possible if Prodi does not get more votes in general terms. It seems impossible to me.. but who knows....maybe some weird city with a lot of Rosa o Pietro supporters has not been reported...

Who knows??

Re: HOUSE 60% (none / 0)

At this stage the senate was half a point less for the left. Given that now Berlsuconi leads with half a point in the senate.... jesus.... this is the most closest election in Europe that I recall.

Re: HOUSE 60% (none / 0)

I keep a watch on Sicilia. No new data for half an hour, so Catania and Palermo still outstanding. Before that, the last few election districts reporting moved CdL's percentage slightly down.

Re: HOUSE 60% (none / 0)

Sicily just took another babystep forward, again reducing the CdL percentage lead.
