An online vote by grass-roots members of the anti-establishment 5-Star Movement on forming a government with the centre-left Democratic Party (PD) will take place from 09:00 to 18:00 Tuesday, the M5S said Sunday.

M5S leader Luigi Di Maio said Monday the fate of the possible new government will be decided by the vote on the Rousseau platform. M5S Senate Whip Stefano Patuanelli said Monday that if the response is no then premier-designate Giuseppe Conte will have to tell President Sergio Mattarella that his government-formation bid has failed.

Conte is expected to go and see Mattarella either on Tuesday evening, or more probably, on Wednesday evening, when he will ‘drop his reservations’ on forming the new government if a deal has been made.
