Italy’s constitutional reforms: Swapping places with Britain
Keywords:
Tags:
New legislation in the Italian parliament introduced by prime minister Renzi would give the party winning 40% of the popular vote extra seats to reach a majority of 340 in the 630 seat Chamber of Deputies, lower house of the Italian parliament. If no group gets the 40%, a run off is to be held between the 2 largest parties to determine who gets the absolute majority. The new law also turns the upper house, the Senate into an assembly of local representatives, and makes the lower house, the Chamber of Deputies the one that runs the country. The new law would go into effect in July 2016.

Prime minister Renzi of Italy and legislation for constitutional changes on electoral reforms
05/09/2015
The new legislation introduced by prime minister Renzi in the Italian parliament gives the party with 40% of the popular vote a majority of seats in parliament. This is designed to prevent the deadlocked politics and short lived coalition governments experienced by Italy since World War II. It has also made it difficult to revitalize the economy by making necessary changes for the long term that may be upopular in the short term.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
