(ANSA) - Rome, October 22 - Premier Matteo Renzi met with members of his cabinet Wednesday on his controversial reforms to the country's election law, sources said.
    House and Senate leaders for Renzi's Democratic Party (PD) as well as Maria Elena Boschi, minister for reforms, were among those at the session.
    Renzi said earlier this month that his electoral reform will produce a clear winner at the next election. "We will change the electoral law so winners and losers are easily identifiable," he said. As well, the reforms will make sure "the winner will be responsible for everything for five years," Renzi has said.
    But some MPs from his own party as well as opposition members have said they are opposed to the reforms because Renzi hammered them out with ex-premier Silvio Berlusconi, leader of the centre-right Forza Italia.
