Italy's far right poised to reap its political dividend out of Austria's infamous coalition..... Monday April 17 7:33 AM ET Polls Upset Spells Trouble for Italy Government By Jude Webber ROME (Reuters) - Italy's opposition center-right bloc headed toward a shock victory in regional elections on Monday, leaving the future of Prime Minister Massimo D'Alema's center-left government unclear. Partial official returns and exit polls showed the Freedom Alliance bloc led by former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, who teamed up for the elections with the federalist Northern League, had won blanket victories in the north and had also carried the three biggest contests elsewhere in the country. By late morning, partial official returns and projections put the right ahead in nine regions against the left's six, a crushing loss of three regions for D'Alema. That was a result that could scupper his chances of being the left's candidate for premier at the next general election. National polls are not due before April 2001. Party leaders in the ruling coalition of ex-communists, former Christian Democrats, moderate Marxists and Greens met at D'Alema's office Monday to chew over the electoral drubbing.
