You have to explain that 2% thing!

If both coalitions can only count those above 2% plus the first below, with current numbers that's an extra punishment of 0.43% for the Left, that is a victory for the Right.

Re: PALERMO UNLOADS! (none / 0)

Caveat: the law is very complicated. In the Camera dei Deputati a coalition must have atleast 10% of which one party atleast 2% in order to designate seats. If a party runs alone it must garner atleat 4%. Both coalitions have passed the 2% threshold. Therefore, they get all the seats they are entitled to.
