    Can we take a moment to consider that everything is the fault of the Italians. The Italians, and only the Italians:

    Why the hell are your polling stations open until 23:00? Who the hell votes at that time? Is it one of those “not cappuccino after 11 – no voting before dusk” kind of superstitions? You’re the reason we don’t have proper projections yet!

      That’s just barely in time to vote after dinner!

        I was just in Rome, and when I started getting hungry there was still an hour left until most restaurants even opened (19:30). Pure insanity to my Scandinavian habits.

          I was in Stockholm and I felt horribly when I started feeling hungry and I noticed restaurants were already closing 😂

        Then vote after your morning espresso!

        Or like me: Go to vote whenever, visit the Italian ice cream parlour on the way back.

        We’re already done counting. They’re actively not updating the results because the Italians can’t be bothered to vote during daytime. On a Sunday.

        EDIT: State results are in. Well, almost completely.

      Considering the next elections one should form a national party to expand pause times to multiple hours as well, so that we can bear 35 degree celcius in april 2029.

      Either spains siesta approach or adapting italias layed-back attitude both sounds promising!!
