Back to EpisodesItaly's Right-Wing Coalition Revamps Electoral System
Description
Italys right-wing coalition, led by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, has agreed on a new electoral system for the 2027 general election. The plan shifts to a fully proportional setup, giving a guaranteed majority in parliament to any coalition topping forty percent of the vote. This move aims to deliver stable governments that better reflect voter choices, but is criticized by opposition groups as a power grab. The proposal also includes a runoff round if no coalition hits between thirty-five and forty percent. The changes, if approved, could significantly impact Italys political landscape for years to come.
