I have a friend that was happy to vote for her. Seems strange knowing someone with a thick Australian accent who votes in every election of a country that he has mostly secondhand experience with,but a few countries seem happy to have the expatriate vote system.
There seems to currently be a predictable response, foreseeing doom,implosion and plenty of handmaid's tales, from most of the world's media when anybody who has exception to same-sex marriage, abortion,the EU or secularism. Somehow an extremist Left doesn't mean impending disaster at all, despite the precedents of socialism, communism and even modern consumerism.
Immigration,of course,can always have a compassionate aspect when viewing both general directions,and anything in between, that governments can take,even if it goes without saying that mass immigration is generally considered a tool for pluralism and against tradition. The relationship between Pope Francis and Prime Minister Meloni will be interesting.
Given the average lifespan of Italian governments,my friend, for one,has little optimism that Italian Brotherhood will have any lasting impact. Their coalition does however make a statement,given Italy's position as EU's third largest economy (apparently, despite being considered a basket case for a long time now); for the moment this might be more remarkable than countercultural Hungary or Poland.
Given that there are situations in the Italian Peninsula such as (according to prolife groups) some non-religious hospitals unable to accommodate abortion due to the entire medical staff having exception, I'd imagine that there's such very different combinations of religiosity, materialism, traditions of anticlericalism and modern secularism, to other countries,even Ireland or others with Catholic or Judeo-Christian foundation that comparison would be hard,even impossible.
