ROME (Reuters) - The far-right Brothers of Italy party, buoyed by a strong showing in weekend local elections, has called on Prime Minister Mario Draghi's coalition to resign after its main supporters fared badly in the vote.

Brothers of Italy, led by Giorgia Meloni, was the only major party to refuse to join the broad, unity government last year, even as its allies in the centre-right bloc, the League and Forza Italia, took cabinet seats.
