Gianfranco Fini, then party leader of the neo-fascist Movimento Socialista Italiano (Italian Social Movement, MSI), a direct predecessor of Meloni's party Fratelli d'Italia (Brothers of Italy, FdI), was concerned about the parliamentary survival of smaller parties. #Wahlreform #Italien #Stabilicum (translated)

Italy is once again at the center of electoral reform as the law "Stabilicum," introduced by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, replaces the existing "Rosatellum," with reforms since 1993 constantly balancing between majority and proportional representation systems. #Wahlreform #Italien #Stabilicum (translated)

The article explores the history of the nicknames of Italian electoral laws, such as Stabilicum and Porcellum, highlighting how expressions in maccheronic Latin have become a satirical tradition used by politicians and the media to describe otherwise complex and bureaucratic reforms. #Stabilicum #Meloncellum #leggeelettorale (translated)

The new electoral law, called Stabilicum, introduces a substantial majority prize and preferences for voters, but it also includes blocked list leaders and a system that could generate political instability if no coalition reaches 42% of the votes. #LeggeElettorale #Elezioni2027 #StabilitàPolitica (translated)

Now Italians will be able to choose everything, including parliamentarians. Response to those who wanted us divided. Electoral law, Meloni: "Now Italians will be able to choose everything, including parliamentarians. Response to those who wanted us divided." For the lady of the Pd, is "ciociara" an insult? Proud to be defined that way. Meloni: "For the lady of the Pd, is 'ciociara' an insult? Proud to be defined that way." #LeggeElettorale #Stabilicum #PoliticaItalia (translated)

The new electoral law Stabilicum, approved by the Chamber with 227 votes in favor and 164 against, modifies the Italian voting system by shifting from a majority prize system to a corrected proportional system, reintroducing preferences and requiring parties to indicate the candidate for the presidency of the Council. #LeggeElettorale #Stabilicum #PoliticaItalia (translated)

This time the secret ballot did not have the same impact, also because the President of the Council Giorgia Meloni had taken countermeasures to avoid surprises: she had more or less explicitly said that if the law were not approved, the government would fall. #LeggeElettorale #Stabilicum #Elezioni2027 (translated)

The new electoral law, known as Stabilicum, has been definitively approved, which will come into force in 2027 and introduces a proportional system with a majority prize for coalitions, despite the internal divisions within the center-right and the controversies surrounding the vote on preferences. #LeggeElettorale #Stabilicum #Elezioni2027 (translated)

Francesca Totolo wrote that the Chamber had approved the new electoral law and that in the upcoming elections, voting would be done with the Stabilicum. She added that the wide field should have chosen the prime minister candidate and indicated Cardinal Zuppi as her advice. #LeggeElettorale #Elezioni2024 #Politica (translated)

Ultimora.net highlighted the main contents of the Stabilicum and reported that the following day the Chamber would vote definitively on the law, by secret ballot. In the case of rejection, Giorgia Meloni intended to call early elections, according to the site. The proposal envisaged a proportional system with a majority premium of 70 seats in the Chamber and 35 in the Senate, up to a maximum of 220 deputies and 113 senators. The premium would kick in with at least 42% of the votes in both Chambers; below that threshold, seats would be allocated proportionally. Uninominal constituencies would be eliminated, except for those in South Tyrol and Aosta Valley. Each list would have a blocked leader and six other candidates, with the possibility of expressing up to three preferences while respecting gender alternation. Ultimora.net indicated barriers of 3% for lists and 10% for coalitions, with the retrieval of the list with the most votes among those below 3%. Parties and coalitions would also have to indicate a candidate for prime minister, whose name would not appear on the ballot. The proposal would reduce the geographical divisions for voting by Italians abroad in the Chamber from four to two — Europe and the rest of the world — and to one in the Senate. For those living away from home, the site wrote, voting at the place of temporary residence would be possible after at least nine months, or three for those undergoing treatment, provided they registered with a list within 30 days of meeting the requirements and at least 45 days before the elections. This option would be extended to caregivers of family members hospitalized outside their region of residence. Finally, for parties without parliamentary representation, the minimum number of signatures required would rise from 1,500 to 6,000 per constituency; for Italians abroad, between 500 and 1,000 would be needed. Electronic collection of signatures would not be permitted, according to Ultimora.net. #LeggeElettorale #Elezioni #Italia (translated)

The fundamental reason with which Giorgia Meloni is justifying her anxiety to approve the new electoral law is the necessity to guarantee stable majorities and lasting governments, with a clear political orientation: Stabilicum, the name given to the reform, aims to emphasize this aspect. #Stabilicum #leggeelettorale #politicaitaliana (translated)

The Stabilicum, the new electoral law desired by Giorgia Meloni to guarantee stable governments, could instead cause political instability, leading to a Parliament without a clear majority and forcing long negotiations between parties. #Stabilicum #leggeelettorale #politicaitaliana (translated)
