Excerpt

SUMMARY:  Italians went to the polls Sunday in Europe's latest test of the political strength of populist and right-wing parties.  The two biggest winners -- the populist "Five Star Movement" and the right-wing "League" -- earned better than 50 percent of the vote.  William Brangham and special correspondent Christopher Livesay discuss how the election reshapes Italy’s political landscape.
