Less than a third of the newly-elected Italian MPs are women. The seats are still being allocated, but so far there are 185 women at the Chamber of Deputies (630 seats) and 86 at the Senate (315). #WomensDay #IWD2018 #FestadelleDonne

Right-wing populist parties are generally supported more by men than by women . But there's no significant #gendergap between League supporters in Italy.

Il voto per genere: PD, Forza Italia e Lega meglio tra le donne che tra gli uomini (ma complessivamente grande somiglianza, assenza di un #GenderGap consistente)

This survey shows how Italians voted according to their age. Young people apparently preferred the Five Star, while the established parties - centre-right Forza Italia and centre left Democratic Party - did better among people over 65. #ElezioniPolitiche2018 #ItalianElection2018 https://t.co/4TCqBeg7eo

Silvio Berlusconi says he still is 'the director' of the Italian centre-right and that it will be them who will be appointed to form a government. https://t.co/cAIXhH2q85

Grazie a tutti per aver scelto di votare Forza Italia. Siamo la prima formazione politica del Paese, obiettivo fondamentale per ricevere l'incarico di un nuovo governo. Ora sta al capo dello stato prendere una decisione; noi contiamo sul suo equilibrio e saggezza. #ForzaItalia

Leader of @Piu_Europa, @emmabonino speaks in Rome: "We felt there was a wave of populism and anti-Europe sentiment coming up, that's why we founded +Europa. My fault is that I didn't understand that it was actually a tsunami. We fought with all we had. And we lost."

[Italian Election Live @ItalianElection]

The leader of +Europa, @emmabonino spoke about the outcome of the #Italianelections2018. She says that @LegaSalvini and @Mov5Stelle will now have a huge responsibility, but her party doesn't see any possibility of an alliance with them. For now.

Five Star are now saying they are open to talks with other parties to create a government. In 2013 talks for an alliance between them and the centre-left failed. #Elezioni4Marzo2018 #ItalianElection2018 https://t.co/lwqMQiojDg
