The ruling centre-left Democratic
Party (PD) will wind up internal talks on changing the Italicum
electoral law next week, PD Lower House Whip Luigi Zanda said
Thursday, saying he was confident of success to heal an internal
rift over the December 4 referendum on Constitutional reform.
PD leader and Premier Matteo Renzi set up an internal body
to debate changes after a dissenting minority demanded changes,
saying that if it was satisfied it would vote in favour of the
government's controversial overhaul of Italy's political
machinery.
The areas being reviewed are the run-off, the winner's
bonus and the way MPs are selected, with the minority pushing
for voters to be able to directly select more of them.
