«Let’s wait to read the text. For now, the big change is the elimination of single-member constituencies, the great unknown of the current majority. In 2022, the centre-right won over 80% of the single-member constituencies with around 44% of the votes because the centre-left was divided. Today the scenario is much more bipolar and, with a broad field, the center-left would win many constituencies. Thus, faced with the risk of ungovernability, he proposes this system” which provides for “a proportional system with a majority bonus, with a model similar to the Greek one. For the rest, majority bonuses are not very widespread in Europe.”
The founder of Youtrend, Lorenzo Pregliasco, tells ANSA. «With this proposal, the coalition that arrives first at the national level counts, whoever gets one more vote. At the moment, according to polls, it is more likely to be the centre-right, but it is today’s scenario and it is not certain that it will be so forever. Therefore, the unknown of the constituencies is removed but it opens up to the possibility that the others will win. The swamp is excluded unless one side wins in the House and the other in the Senate. It closely resembles the Calderoli law, with differences that meet the findings of the Constitutional Court. The limit appears to be the absence of any type of indication from the voter: without single-member constituencies and without preferences he has no say in the matter. In this way the risk is returning to a Parliament of nominees”, he concludes.
