Re: Italian Elections Open Thread (4.00 / 2)

Contrary to last night's result, the situation on abstention turned around today. Temporary figures are 83.44% for the Chamber of Deputies and 85.34% for the Senate.

This is slightly less than voter turnout in 2006 but higher than 2001.

Repubblica, on the basis of data from two-thirds of communities, still projects a fall in turnout to an all-time low: to 81.9%.

BTW, what's up with spin at Repubblica? Of the six PM candidates, only Bertinotti got an photo on which he looks sour.

Yes, I see, at 16:13. So it's going towards an all time low by Italian standards.

Actually Boselli looks sour. Bertinotti has a typical expression of his.

Boselli looks to me like he has a faint smile on. At any rate, it is a favourable photo, like one would expect to see on a personal bio page, as are four of the other five. Not typical.
