Abstract

This article analyze the results of the italian municipal elections held in May 2011. First we make simple count of the municipalities won by varius political blocs, secondly we make a comparison with the results of regional elections of 2010. We have conpared data concerning both the performances of political blocks and those of the political parties who appeared in this elections. We also presents the results of disaggregated data, both from the demographics standpoint and from geographical point view. The analysis shows a clear electoraldefeat of the center-right coalition both in terms of municipalities lost and in terms of percentage of votes obtained. The fact that these two phenomena have occured especially in the North, its traditional area of electoral strenght, make this defeat particulary significant. The centre left coalition, due the difficulties of itsopponent, gets a good results in terms of number of municipalities won, while not improving itsperformance in therm of percentages of votes obtained. The centrist coalition, finally, does not goet get agreat performance in terms of votes obtained, but it often proved decisive in forcing the other twoconditions to the second ballot.
