Italian Elections and Politics 2018: Yellow Tide

The Senate started discussing the constitutional bill proposed by Renzi, which would drastically reduce its power. Of course, many Senators are opposed to the bill. They filled 7800 amendments, and started discussing them at the average speed of 3 per day... It looks like a defining moment for Renzi.

So that earlier vote of 194-126 (60.6%) basically guarantees there will be a referendum because there won't be a two-thirds supermajority on the floor vote, right?

Today's vote gives a hint of what may happen: the opponents decided to abstain and the reform just passed in the Senate with 100% of the votes.

But there is still a long way to go according to your article.

The two parties finalized the coalition agreement and now the M5S militants have 3 days to vote on it online (it doesn't say what happens if they reject it). The Lega will also organized an "offline" vote for its militants.

You guys need to chill. My bet:
-Lega finishes first
-Markets panic, businesses panic (all located in the north btw), Italians who have something to lose (also most of them also in the north) start to panic.
-Salvini one hour later: "we have no intention to leave the euro"
