At 18:00 it appears that Berlusconi will have an ample victory in both the Senate and the House of Deputies.

Corriere gives a 9% advantage while la Repubblica gives a more prudent 4%.

Partial results in from key regions do not bode well for the Democratic Party. Abruzzo, Campania and Sardinia are solidly in the hands of Berlusconi while Lazio is still very close. Liguria has gone to the Left- the only key region in their hands.

It appears that Berlusconi will have a comfortable majority in the Senate.

These are of course projections based on partial results.

The situation in Liguria has now changed at 61% of the results with a slight majority going the the rightwing.

We are now at a little over 10% counted, with 43.5% to 40.2%, but projections are much worse. The real bad surprise seems to be that Rainbow fails at the 4% limit?

If I watch this and try to find another interpretation than vote fraud, is a communists to Bossi swing even possible?

The working class in the North flip flopped a long time ago from utopian communism to rightwing racism.

I don't think much voter fraud was possible- or necessary.
