  1. macker33 E.E.C.?  o and i found this Mr Renzi wanted to introduce sweeping reforms to the country’s notoriously slow and costly government. Italy has a “perfect” bicameral system – meaning its two chambers have exactly the same powers as each other, which often results in political gridlock. The proposed reforms would have reduced the Senate's powers and transformed it from a chamber of 315 directly elected politicians and six lifetime appointees to smaller “Senate of Regions”. The new chamber would have had just 100 seats – 74 regional councillors, 21 mayors and five presidential nominees – with the latter serving for seven years rather than for life. Mr Renzi’s reform would have tipped the balance of power towards the Chamber of Deputies – Italy’s equivalent of the House of Commons. The Senate would have retained its veto on constitutional matters, but the Deputies would have had the final say on everyday bills. The Senate would also have been able to examine bills if a third of its members wished to do so, although its suggestions would not have been binding.
