Five Starts leader Di Maio announced agreement with Lega for earliest possible elections on July 8,
refusing technical or all-party government which would govern while delaying elections to December or later.

The earliest possible election IMHO implies likelyhood of not modifying election laws, which was theory mentioned by some here.
Acting leader Martina of centrist Democratic party has pushed for negotiations with Five Stars,
albeit has been rebuffed so far by Renzi wing of party, thus forced to forswear that option before new elections.

But fact he became leader at all despite his distance on this issue (which was apparent immediately after election)
suggests the policy on non-cooperation with Five Stars is less fixed than Renzi would prefer to have it.
In relation to previous post with graph, I think interesting point is that NCD/AP (ex-Forza who allied with PD)
could be seen as exemplar of those in PD who would most oppose cooperation with Five Stars, based on voting pattern.
Of course, AP collapsed and 2/3 of it ended up within Forza-Lega coalition, so perhaps problematic as core of PD policy.
