YES! Oliver didn't pay enough attention to the M5S as the votes prove, they are INSANE, most people vote them for protest or because of their claim I've already mentioned of "we're the only good politicians", additionally they are promising a "citizenship income", which they want to guarantee to lots of people and of course is unaffordable by our current economical situation. The citizenship income is the main reason why the M5S got this many votes: the votes for M5S mostly came from the South while the votes for Lega came mostly from the North (Lega used to be a separationist party), this is due to the lack of jobs for Italians living in the South which has been an issue since Italy's birth. Overall it's clear to anyone that grasps a little of politics that M5S is a "too good to be true" party and as soon as they'll be at the lead of the country they'll just turn the country in a flaming ball of chaos.
On the Fascist Oliver omitted that while yes, Lega is racist and somewhat fascist, they're not even the WORST in the elections, there's currently two Far Right parties, CasaPound and Forza Nuova, who are admitedly neo-fascist, they have no problem to admit it and, while both of them are under 1%, they are still a HUGE problem because they can easily gain votes from Lega, which as we know now has 18% of the total votes. To be clear, our constitution, which was adopted in 1948 afted the fall of Mussolini, is supposed to ban all sorts of fascist or violent parties, but, due to it being rushed after the end of the war, its misleadingly worderd, this makes it so that the only illegal thing is creating the "Fascist Party", as in a party that is litterally named Fascist, anything else is allowed. Many tried to change the constitution but it's extremely hard and this point was never fixed.
On the opposite side the Left isn't perfect too, while PD (which is center-left) was by far the best option (personal opinion), there are also comunist parties, first of which is PaP, while they have proven to be less aggressive than the Far Right, they were involved with fights against the police in the last few months, which caused a growth in popularity of the Far Right parties
