::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)

::::To be clear, I don't think there's zero doubt that Conte has 100% rejected leftism. What I mean is that the fact he was once a leftist isn't a very big deal to me, based on other recent examples. Besides, some of the strongest globalists (Romney, Bush, David Cameron, Merkel, etc.) have consistently been members of their "conservative" parties. I think Conte is a populist over all (which is a good thing right now), and he needs Salvini's support to stay in power. --[[User:1990'sguy|1990'sguy]] ([[User talk:1990'sguy|talk]]) 19:54, 8 June 2018 (EDT)
