That was happening before the Brexit vote, why do you think the public sector workers are bleating.

It's PR with a prize of X amount of extra seats for the winning party, to give them governability. They are currently trying to agree on a new electoral law as parts of the last one were declared unconstitutional.
There isn't a strong party that would push for an exit vote, only the Lega Nord want that and they're hovering at about 15%
Salvini is in the populist right wing mould like le pen and trump. In terms of character he's as far removed from Corbyn as can be, brash, rude, etc.
The m5s didn't do very well in the local elections in June, not sure if they've bounced back since then. The traditional centre right were the big winners in the local elections.
I'd say an Italexit is extremely unlikely. Most Italians like being in the EU and nobody is really talking about leaving it. It's just not a thing. But in these strange times you never know I suppose.
... with over 25% of the 'working' population not paying income tax/thriving black economy, why would they want exit? They're too busy shafting the EU losers. Heaven forbid we remain part of that. They'll be there when the EU goes ti ts up and it'll be too late for them to change sides ...!
... Italy is a poorly run country with high levels of corruption. Would you like to try starting a biz there? Some time ago the EU paid out €millions for a steel mill which didn't even exist. Can't decide which is worse, the dozey EU or the I ties!
Yep, "corrupt" is the word I'd go for

... driller ... thought you were bright enough to see a bigger picture. So, in football terms, the EU is the team but 7 countries are undermining the common ( at the risk of confusing you, for 'common' read the Germany) interest. Or, in Notts terms, 3 of the team have taken bribes from the opposition ... but that could be a whole new topic!
