The real data and those of the projections on the electoral result in the Senate are starting to approach. The reality that emerges is that of a head-to-head between centre-left and centre-right.
According to the fourth projection of the Piepoli Institute for Rai (63% of the sample), the data are as follows:
- CENTER-RIGHT (BERLUSCONI): 31%
- CENTER-LEFT (BERSANI): 30,4%
- 5 STAR MOVEMENT (SHACKLE): 24,7%
- WITH MONTI FOR ITALY (MONTI): 9,4%
On the other hand, according to the real data released by the Viminale around 18 pm (30 sections scrutinized out of 32.593), the leading positions are reversed:
- CENTER-LEFT (BERSANI): 32,78%
- CENTER-RIGHT (BERLUSCONI): 29,41%
- 5 STAR MOVEMENT (SHACKLE): 24%
- WITH MONTI FOR ITALY (MONTI): 9,14%
However, since elections to the Senate are held on a regional basis, the momentary affirmation of the centre-right in Lombardy, Campania and Sicily gives the coalition led by Silvio Berlusconi 123 seats, against 104 for the centre-left (which prevails in Lazio) which would not even be enough a possible alliance with Mario Monti's coalition, which has 16 seats.
