:I don't trust Conte. [https://www.ilfattoquotidiano.it/2018/05/31/giuseppe-conte-ecco-chi-e-il-presidente-del-consiglio-del-governo-lega-m5s/4369287/ He was a leftist before he approached Five Star], a big tent movement that "catch-alls" from different ideologies. As far as I'm concerned, he hasn't renounced his leftism, so I assume he approached Five Star (and this coalition by extension) because he sees something in it for him as a leftist. Yes, he hates the EU and wants to deport the migrants. And then what? --[[User:James Kardys|James Kardys]] ([[User talk:James Kardys|talk]]) 10:15, 7 June 2018 (EDT)

::The fact he was a leftist doesn't concern me as much as it apparently does you -- here in the U.S., people such as Peter Navarro, Matteo Salvini, and Steve Bannon were also leftists, or considered leftist, earlier in their lives, though they are now considered some of the strongest nationalist-conservatives around. Also, Conte has supports doing away unnecessary laws and supports trimming bureaucracy. I don't think Conte's background is concerning. I do agree that the M5S's flip-flopping on issues is concerning -- it was consistent under Grillo, but its current leader, Di Maio, is an opportunist who cares more about getting into a government position than taking principled stands on issues. I think that the government is in dangered to adopting an establishment outlook in order to (as it sees it) increase its popularity or because it doesn't have the guts to fight the European deep state. But on the bright side, the M5S is stuck with the League, which does take strong and principled stands on the issues. --[[User:1990'sguy|1990'sguy]] ([[User talk:1990'sguy|talk]]) 19:44, 7 June 2018 (EDT)

:::Well, one of is will be right and one of us will be wrong on whether Conte's rejection of leftism is genuine. Prior to him being appointed PM, I had never even heard of him. For me, he has to prove his conservatism in action. Fortunately, I initially had the same sentiments towards President Trump, and he ultimately proved to me that his rejection of leftism is genuine over time. If Trump could do it, so can Conte. Conte has no excuse to not try. --[[User:James Kardys|James Kardys]] ([[User talk:James Kardys|talk]]) 16:28, 8 June 2018 (EDT)
