5-Star Movement (M5S) premier
candidate Luigi Di Maio has said the anti-establishment group
will not leave Italy without a government if it fails to make
the 40% threshold in the March 4 general election needed to get
bonus seats to ensure a working majority in parliament.
"(In that case) we would have to make a public appeal to all
the political parties in parliament to give this country a
government," Di Maio said Sunday.
"We don't want to stay in a corner. We don't want to leave
the country in chaos".
The M5S, which was formed only in 2009, has so far spurned
making pacts with the traditional parties it accuses of being
responsible for corruption and economic decline.
