The latest polling results coming out of Italy show that while the populist coalition in Italy is unpopular in Brussels it is still very popular with Italians.<\/p>\n<p>And that\u2019s a good thing because when you look closely at Brexit negotiations it is clear that all that matters is the EU retaining power over the U.K. and not what is in the best interest of anyone involved, British or otherwise.<\/p>\n<p>The Italian coalition partners still command nearly 60% of all Italians\u2019 support, only their preference has changed. Lega now outpolls Five Star Movement (M5S) 33% to 26%, while the other center-right parties, namely Silvio \u201cStalking Horse\u201d Berlusconi\u2019s Forza Italia have collapsed (from 14% at March\u2019s elections to just 7% now).<\/p>\n<p>And roughly that same number now see the EU as mistreating Italy. These numbers will only get worse if the EU goes through with levying fines against Italy for submitting a budget Brussels doesn\u2019t like.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, now we\u2019re seeing support for\u00a0Italeave\u00a0rise as well.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/news\/2018-11-16\/shocking-poll-shows-60-italians-think-eu-bad-italy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-cke-saved-href=\"https:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/news\/2018-11-16\/shocking-poll-shows-60-italians-think-eu-bad-italy\">A recent poll by Politico Magazine posted over at Zerohedge<\/a>\u00a0shows a slight majority of Italians under age 45 are ready to do just that, leave the European Union.<\/p>\n<p>The over 45 crowd is still enamored with the ideal of the EU tying together a warring Europe rather than confront the reality of what it actually is, a distant and tyrannical oligarchy led by unelected technocrats with strong ties to old money and old power.<\/p>\n<p>The source of this support comes from, I think, the stark contrast between May\u2019s appeasement of rankled EU leadership over the British people\u2019s temerity to want out of their wretched union and how Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini is attacking Brussels\u2019 hypocrisy over fiscal restraints.<\/p>\n<p>\u2026click on the above link to read the rest of the article\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Take Heed Italy, Brussels Doesn\u2019t Care One Whit About You Watching the complete betrayal of Brexit by British Prime Minister Theresa \u201cThe Gypsum Lady\u201d May is proving to be a wake up call for Italians.
