Italys PM Meloni is very popular as a leader and does have a history of anti-EU sentiment (she encouraged Italy to leave the Euro in 2009). Italy is a county of very diverse groupings (unification is still a dirty word in some quarters) but I suspect it wouldn’t be hard for a right-wing populist to push the country to a referendum; and they seem to average one of those every two years. The financial problems that beset the country and the migration issue…. point to some very similar positions to those the UK found itself in…. And lest not mention Greece!
Tsipras clearly was bribed right in time. Salvini also and Maloni in my opinion too
