Italy on course for far-right government

Italy is on course to elect a farright government on Sept 25, according to the final round of opinion polls.

The surveys show a bloc of parties headed by Giorgia Meloni's Brothers of Italy should win around 60 percent of the popular vote, and victory in both houses of Parliament.

Meloni, who has forged an alliance with Matteo Salvini's anti-migrant League party and Silvio Berlusconi's Forza Italia, should widen its lead over the center-left Democratic Party, or PD, according to an analysis by think tank Cattaneo Institute.
