Pundits & Twitterers are now worrying about a 5 Star-League-Brothers coalition.
Again, no votes yet and exit polls don't reflect the FPTP & PR voting systems.

Something like 40 governments in the last 70 years. Italy is proof that a country doesn’t need stable government to survive.

BTW, wasn’t the 5-Star Movement more of a reformist party under Beppe? Did they swing right this election?

The 5 Stars are anti-establishment, and policy positions are quite fluid. In December, Di Maio wanted a referendum to leave the Eurozone, which he supported. In January, he rejected a referendum on leaving the Eurozone.

Interesting developments. The PD was crushed to virtual non-existence, the worst thumping it has seen "in its history", it is said. It now has pipe dreams of being an "opposition party." It doesn't have the weight for even that, its protests will sound like a faint thud in a noisy factory.
LEGA strode past Berlusconi with unencumbered ease. The wounded fox sits uncharacteristically quiet in one of his manors, licking his wounds.
Who will now lead as prime minister? 5Star feels it was the real victor, gives disdainful short shrift to everyone else. LEGA adamantly says no alliance with 5Star. The PD has had it, repudiated beyond redemption, no other party will want to associate with it. Berlusconi's a schemer, but how far can he go with his vastly dwindled status?
The real headline: a popular cry-out to break an establishment-party/burocrate stranglehold on Italy collapses again to naught and muddle.

Doesn’t 5-star + Berlusconi’s group have enough to form a coalition? They need only 40% if what I read is correct. Those two parties add up to ~46%

Don't know if 5 Stars + Forza have enough seats in the Senate for a majority. Plus, that would be an interesting ideological combination.
I think everyone needs to see the final seat totals; people are speculating about centre-right coalitions, 5Stars-League, and 5Stars-Democratic coalitions. Who knows..
