Meloni’s right-wing coalition, anchored by Brothers of Italy, reached a postwar record of more than 1,400 consecutive days in office on September 4, 2026, underscoring unusual stability in a country that has seen 68 governments since 1945. This continuity has supported fiscal credibility and policy implementation, yet recent polling shows the centre-left bloc holding a narrow lead while a new far-right splinter, Futuro Nazionale, draws support from voters concerned over immigration and cultural issues, eroding the League’s share and narrowing the governing alliance’s overall margin. Coalition strains have surfaced over defence spending, electoral-law reforms, and a failed judicial referendum, though no immediate confidence vote or partner defection has materialized. The next general election, scheduled no later than December 2027, remains the primary trigger for any change in premiership, with speculation about an earlier spring contest adding uncertainty for traders assessing removal timelines.
