A single party of the (centre-)left?

According to SWG more than two-thirds of left-wing voters would look favourably upon the creation of a single left-wing party; the resulting party could reliably count on 31.5% of the electorate, roughly the same as the DS and Margherita polled in April. However, the result polled by the DS and Margherita represented a peak for those two parties; the Partito Democratico's total electoral market could be as large as 45.5%.
