Se gli exit poll appena usciti saranno confermati (Sky, La7 e Rai), si profila all'orizzonte un altro risultato di portata storica. Questa volta la nostra attenzione si concentra sulla performance dei partiti populisti. La definizione di populisti si basa sulla classificazione del dataset "PopuList" (Rooduijn et al. 2019). Per l'Italia, nel 2022, il dataset considera Fratelli d'Italia, la Lega e il Movimento 5 Stelle come tali. La loro performance aggregata, secondo la media degli exit poll, è di 50,5% e risulta quindi la terza migliore performance dei partiti populisti in Europa occidentale dal 2010 a oggi. Come...

Aldo Paparo, Challenger’s delight: The results of the 2018 Italian general election, Italian Political Science, Volume 13, Issue 1, pp. 63–81. ABSTRACT The results of the 2018 general election were shocking. Although the main competitors were the same as in 2013 (the centre-right coalition, the centre-left coalition, and the Movimento 5 Stelle), great uncertainty sur-rounded the electoral outcome because of the application of a new electoral system, and polls data indicating the competitiveness of the multiple political formations and the high number of undecided voters. For the first time in Western European history, a successful debutant managed not to lose votes in...
