ROME (Reuters) - Italy's next government must cut income taxes to boost consumption, relaunch investment and focus on health and education, the leader of the Democratic Party (PD) said on Friday after talks with Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte.

Conte is looking to form a new coalition and is holding talks with all the parties. The PD has said it will join forces with the anti-establishment 5-Star Movement to create a new government under Conte, but they need to hammer out the details.
