They made a law that allowed political parties to band themselves together after vote and made sure there were too many political parties for a single one to win the majority (41%).

So despite M5S winning 32% of votes, all they had to do was band together an absurd total of FIVE parties under the Lega banner and poof they got 40% of votes despite not even reaching 20% previosuly.

Result the same old people still in power with their absurd salaries and privileges, plus Salvini hear this nice song from him, its a racist choir aganist Naples and that man is Lega's leader.

Not only he is racist towards immigrants, he's also racist towards South Italy. Yeah that song is going to cause a divide between North & South of Italy. However here's 3 questions coming from a non-Italian, 1) is it true that Northern Italy is richer than its Southern half? 2) Is Italy increasingly becoming more authoritarian? 3) Lastly why is Italy so harsh to immigrants? I not sure this is the right place to have this kind of discussions.

However in short

1) Yes, but that's only because when they united the country the North took all of South gold and invested in their own industry while destroying our own economy by using the South farmland as trash sites.

Whatever riches the North has now is due to them poisoning the South.

2) In my point of view Italy is an authoritarian country, our politics pretty much do as they please and would prefer to see Italy crash and burn over losing their own privileges.

While Monti demanded tears and blood from Italian citizens, our dear politicians got a salary raise.

3) We don't have a problem with regular immigrants and war refugees that seek to integrate in our country.

The outrage was caused by the fact that while immigrants were brought to hotels and given a proper place to stay in actual structures, the Italians victims of the recent earthquakes were left in tends during the winter.

People just went madder and madder from that episode. It also doesn't help that we had several episodes of immigrants committing serious crimes and vandalizing our monuments. I see. I guess this is why everyone is disgruntled. However I will leave at there. Thank you for answering my questions. I don't know a lot about the world sometimes but it helps coming from a person well experienced who lives in their own country.
