More than half centre-left supporters back alliance with M5S

(ANSA) - Rome, March 15 - Just over one third of Italians
believe centre-left leader Pier Luigi Bersani should take a step
back to allow the formation of a new government after February
general elections left no party or coalition with a clear
majority, an opinion poll said Friday.
Instead 28% of Italians think the Democratic Party (PD)
secretary should pursue an alliance with the anti-establishment
5-Star Movement (M5S) of comedian Beppe Grillo, according to the
Trieste-based pollster SWG.This figure rises to 66% among centre-left voters. So far attempts by the PD to reach a government agreement with M5S have proved elusive. Some 13% of Italians support an alliance between PD and the centre-right People of Freedom (PdL) of ex-premier Silvio Berlusconi. The same percentage instead sees new elections as the only answer to the present deadlock.
