There is an ethical issue, euthanasia, which is close to the hearts of three out of four Italians and is also popular among the centre-right electorate. Like, surprisingly, the minimum wage. In parallel there are nuclear and remigration - workhorses of the conservative forces - which are increasingly making inroads in the country, while losing their bite in the flags of the left such as citizenship and property income. All this while the political label of sovereignism seems to have gone out of fashion, second only to fascism in terms of unpopularity.

VOTERS' POSITION ON 15 KEY ISSUES
The detection
Taking inspiration from US research which in recent years has revealed a new sympathy towards the socialist vision at the expense of the capitalist one, Youtrend tested Italians' satisfaction with 15 major theories and concrete measures, breaking down the data on the basis of voting intentions for the individual parties. The resulting ideological maps reserve more than one unexpected result, and perhaps some suggestions for leaders who are sharpening weapons and programs for the electoral campaign to come.

Euthanasia is the most popular proposal
Let's start with the most popular proposal of all: euthanasia. 76% of the sample of 1,500 interviewees are in favor (only 15% are against, 9% are undecided), with peaks of 84% in the centre-left electorate (the voters of Pd, M5S, Avs, +Europa and Italia Viva are considered) and a very high approval rating, equal to 77%, even among those of the centre-right (Fdi, Forza Italia-Noi Moderati, Lega and Futuro national). The Carroccio stands out with 87% in favor and is not surprising, given the battle just won in Veneto for the law on medically assisted suicide.
The minimum wage is also at the top
The minimum wage obtains similar percentages: at a national level it receives 75% of those in favor against 16% against. Among centre-left voters, 92% are in favor and 6% are against, but even in the centre-right the figure is 63% in favor versus 30% against. No other progressive proposal garners such a large majority in the opposing camp, where popularity is once again higher among those who vote for Lega (84%) and Futuro Nazionale (66%).
Bad citizenship and property income
Citizenship income, in comparison, disappears: disliked by 51% of the sample, it is appreciated by only 41% of those interviewed and almost only on the left (67% versus 18%, here too with a Northern League exception of 43%). The patrimonial one is also bad, popular by 40% and unwelcome by 42%: 66% like it on the left and 21% on the right, where however 34% of center voters say they are in favour. Even if the subsamples - Youtrend warns - are more unstable.
Most people like nuclear power
The use of nuclear energy is one of the few issues in which the center-left electorate is in negative territory while the country is in positive territory. The national data is clear: 51% favorable and 34% unfavorable. In the centre-right those who like it rise to 68% against 21% who are against. On the centre-left, however, those in favor drop to 42%, with 48% against.
THE RANKING
Remigration welcomed by half of those interviewed
On only one other case does the progressive electorate go against the trend of what the country seems to approve of: remigration. Roberto Vannacci's workhorse (his popularity is at its highest among his voters: 99%) is appreciated by 46% of those questioned, with a share of 38% hostile. 82% of the centre-right electorate applauds, with the Cold League at 54% (probably more an anti-Vannacci reflex than a conviction, given the Northern League's commitment against irregular migrants). On the left, 23% of voters look favorably on the idea of remigrating, more Five Star (33%) than Pd. The equivalent on the right is the Green deal, appreciated by only one voter in four.
Europeanism? A value, but not for Vannaccians
Europeanism is a value for 54% at a national level; 25% opposed. But the driving force is above all on the left (81%) compared to 44% on the right, where the very high shares of Fdi and Fi-Nm (56%) are counterbalanced by Northern League skepticism (33%) and clear Vannaccia aversion. Approval for Europe in the general's ranks collapses to 16%, and on this point the widest gap in the entire coalition on any issue materializes: the gap between the favorable ones between Futuro Nazionale and Fratelli d'Italia is as many as 40 points.
The renunciation of fascism, communist nostalgia
Accounts with the past appear more evident in the centre-right electorate: fascism (at the bottom of the general popularity ranking with 6% in favor and 83% against) is clearly rejected (12% in favour, 75% against), with the sole exception of the Fn in whose ranks nostalgics reach 23% despite 62% against. Opposite speech for communism. At a national level, 21% are favourable, 63% unfavourable, but among centre-left voters the opinion is in perfect balance: 47% in favour, 47% against. On the right, however, the rejection is total: 4% in favor, 89% against.
Sovereignty is now a label with no appeal
Sovereignism, capitalism and neoliberalism are very unusable terms. Just 15% of those questioned now look favorably on sovereignism; 65% are against. Even among centre-right voters the unfavorable opinions, at 51%, exceed the favorable ones (33%). Capitalism in turn records 23% favorable and 53% unfavorable on a national basis, and remains in slightly negative territory even among right-wing voters with 39% against 44% (with a new gap between those in favor of Fdi, at 44%, and those of Futuro Nazionale and Lega, at 28%). Neoliberalism is worse, which is also affected by many "I don't know": 21% against 38% at a national level, 29% against 33% in the center-right, 18% against 50% in the center-left. However, socialism holds, which is liked by 39% in general, 71% in the centre-left and 15% in the centre-right.
