The country’s two largest parties are now led by women
Ms Schlein’s victory will also come as a shock to her party’s deeply entrenched old guard. But then a key reason why the’s voters turned to Ms Schlein was that in recent months their leadership of the party had turned from a disappointment into an embarrassment.
Besting Mr Conte also carries risks. Only by uniting at the next election can the left beat the right. Perhaps Ms Schlein’s trickiest task in the longer term will be to heal the many breaches among Italy’s divided progressives. A more pressing issue is whether she can offer effective opposition to the similarly radical Ms Meloni. Backed by a four-way coalition and an outright majority in parliament, Ms Meloni has so far had a remarkably smooth ride.
Her strength, though it could yet come to be seen as a weakness, has been her conversion to moderation. Far from distancing Italy from the rest of Europe, as some had feared, Ms Meloni has enthusiastically supported’s position on Ukraine and steered through parliament a budget for 2023 that broadly respects the European Commission’s insistence on fiscal prudence. Both policies leave her open to attack.
