Grassroots members of 5-Star Movement (M5S) on Tuesday, September 3, voted yes by 79% to 20.7% to a government with the center-left Democratic Party (PD) on the M5S's online voting platform, Rousseau, paving the way for an unprecedented alliance between the former fierce foes.
M5S leader Luigi Di Maio said that "I think we must be very proud that the whole world waited for the result of these 80,000 Italian citizens on a digital platform that is unique in the world".
In the next hours, former Premier Giuseppe Conte will be received by Sergio Mattarella to present the MPs' list forming the new Government.
