• Italy's Salvini reportedly favours election date of 13 October

Whatever the case is, I reckon we should just take this as a signal reaffirming that we're inevitably heading down this path. There's going to be a lot of rumours about the election date still to come so it'll be too messy to put them all up.

However, the reports are suggesting some time in October so I reckon that's the date to look out for when we get any formal announcement by the Italian government.
