Meloni proposes that all parties put forward a prime minister candidate. As a bonus, the coalition behind the winning prime minister will receive at least 55 percent of the seats in both chambers of parliament. In the 78 years since the end of the Second World War, 70 politicians have taken on the role of prime minister. Time and time again, those governments have fallen and been replaced by technocrats appointed by the president. That would no longer be possible under this new system.
The fact that she has the ministers behind her is a good sign for Meloni. But a constitutional reform like this requires a two-thirds majority in parliament. If she does not get it, the vote will go to a referendum. Several pastors have already tried to make a similar change. In 2016, Prime Minister Matteo Renzi failed in his aim and resigned.
