The seats close with a partial turnout that is around 28%. As you wanted to demonstrate. The quorum was not reached for any of the five questions subjected to the voters, a goal that no one has ever believed. This referendum, and it is not the first time that happens, has served the left to count and attempt to undermine the solidity of the Meloni government. So much so that a few hours after the vote, the fiction of the research of the quorum has been sold out, Francesco Boccia thought about declaring the new goal: exceeding 12 million and 300,000 votes. The meaning is to demonstrate that it is a vote against the executive, or rather a vote against Giorgia Meloni.
Easy objective because it is enough to go and see historically again what happened in the past referendums to realize that only once you went under the threshold of 12 million votes, in 2022.
In 2003 when he voted for the referendum on article 18, promoted by the Communist Refoundation, the participation was recognized as very low: 24.5% and 12 million and 700 thousand were. Result similar to that obtained two years later, in 2005, when the referendums on assisted procreation were organized. In short, the Democratic Party setting the bar set up a guaranteed minimum goal. The result obtained, clearly superior, is artifact by a very low expectation in practice. There is another element to add. Of these votes, not everyone voted compact for the Si, indeed, many voted only for some questions, some voted for the no.
The whole block of reformists had expressed itself for the yes only as regards two questions: the one on safety at work and that on citizenship. Thus going against the line imposed by the party secretary Elly Schlein. Yet now we try to convince citizens that the turnout represents a compact electorate that would represent the alternative to the current government. In practice, following the reasoning of the Nazarene, Giorgia Meloni herself should also be counted among those who voted against herself. In short, the pd strategy of the Democratic Party to save shack and puppets is at least ridiculous.
Finally the last consideration. The percentage, assuming that it really represents the mirror of the wide field, evidently would not be enough in any case to beat the center -right which, according to the polls, if you go to the vote immediately, it certainly beats, almost dubbing the percentage of votes obtained today. According to the latest Youtrend polls (to give an example), it can be calculated that the united center -right coalition would touch 50%. Brothers of Italy keeps 30%, followed by Forza Italia given to 9%with the League just behind 8.6%. Total: 47.6%.
