The Italian political establishment has now been crushed in Italy after a deal was made between two radical, insurgent, populist parties that scored big in the country's recent election.

ITALY ON A KNIFE-EDGE AFTER RACE HATE BOILS OVER
It would be nice to have elections where the main issues were, say, things like farm subsidies, dog hygiene, maternity leave, bicycle paths, whether museums should be free or not, and which days to have national holidays on. But forget it. Those days are gone. Practically all Western countries live under the curse of mass immigration and the moral tyranny of taking in the world's refugees. This means that from now on all elections will be increasingly -- and maybe even exclusively -- about race and nothing else.
WHO ARE ITALY'S FIVE STAR MOVEMENT?
There has never been a year like 2016—Brexit, Trump, and in Italy a movement that goes beyond conventional party politics, ideology, and organization. YouTube vlogger State of the Nation attempts to explain Beppe Grillo:s Five Star Movement, a revolt against the endemic corruption of Italian politics and a truly radical attempt to harness the internet and social media to cut out the party political middle man of politics. Is it just a flash in the pan or will its populism overthrow the EU and prepare the way for a more nationalist Italy?
