This situation reminds me of the 1984 Democratic primaries between Mondale and Hart.

Renzi wants to take the Democratic Party-New Centre Right coalition full term.

I imagine with the perception of the last election as deadlocked, and now Renzi going for a full term, this will look like an unelected government.

So basically he has to be ultra centrist to appease the New Centre Right. Then in the next election, he won't be popular with the left and the New Centre Right will be wiped out, making room for Berlusconi.

Stupid.

I hadn't thought about that, but maybe Renzi is just betting on Berlusconi's death at some time, by playing the watch. It's not that stupid after all, the Italian right should have a little hard time recovering from Silvio's disparition.

Still, for many other reasons, stated above and not, it's stupid.

It's going to be hard for the Italian right as or right now because of the heir apparent of the mainstream right breaking away and propping up a Democratic government.

Had Berlusocni died in the last 5 years or so though, I don't think it would have caused any problems at all. Alfano would have filled his shoes quite easily, probably better, since he doesn't have the baggage.

The bonus, as stupid as it is, is the only thing that made Italy sort of governable.

I thought, if anything, they were going to expand it to both houses, rather than scrap it completely.

Wait, they're going to have run-offs for party list PR?

I never thought I would say this, but maybe they should just use FPTP.

Run-off with PR just really bizarre. Has it ever been done before? I guess it could work though. The risk with such a novel system though is that it might be more easily abolished if the people in power think it's advantageous.

40% clause is the worst thing about this law. Why not make it 50%? No one could argue with that. 40% opens up the door to challenges of legitimacy.

It's some Danny Ortega sh!t.

A right-wing-M5S coalition is a foregone conclusion, no?
