      Any clear policy ramifications? The article is light regarding those.

      Education is extremely important.

        Too lazy too look it up.

        What "far right" policies is she espousing?

          The usual right-wing populist agenda, mostly. Spend a lot of money they don't have. "God". Stop immigration. Vague conspiracy theories about "big finance". Germany is the root of all evil in Italy.

          I wouldn't call them "conservative". They don't give a damn about free markets or individual liberty, say. "Right-wing populism" is apt.

          In Italy, governments tend to not last very long, but this may have significant implications for the EU.

          There's now a new block consisting of Poland, Hungary, Sweden (who had elections a few weeks ago), and Italy. It will be a counterweight to the Germany-France axis. Which is good news, in my opinion.

            She's going to liberate Ethiopia

            Anti-immigration, anti-Brussels, anti LGBTQ, sorry "pro-family".

            She has apparently used and referred to the slogan "God, homeland family", which was Mussolini's, on a number of occasions.

            Her ally Berlusconi apparently said that Putin was "forced into the war with Ukraine".

            I was only joking

                .. and we are back to the usual "I don't care what happens elsewhere except when I can use it as a tool for my political purposes"? 😆

                  I don't think it's the second coming if Mussolini. It'll flame out, but not before the country shifts a bit to the right.

                  Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton
