The anti-establishment M5S has been dropping precipitously in national polls and struggled to win significant support in either Emilia Romagna or Calabria, which also held regional elections on Sunday.
"The M5S has been annihilated in Emilia-Romagna," said Wolfango Piccoli, co-president of political consultancy Teneo Intelligence, in a research note to clients. "With the M5S in free fall, the PD will be forced to assume a greater role in the coalition government."
M5S has also lost a minister and several senators to resignations and defections in recent weeks, and has subsequently seen its support figures in both of Sunday's regional elections fall to single digits. "Italy appears to be back to a bipolar system , and this is good news for any future governability of the country," he said in a note to clients of his consulting firm, LC Macro Advisors.
