Neutral Summary

Italy's parliament has approved a significant overhaul of its electoral system, championed by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. The new law moves the country to a fully proportional system with a majority bonus, requiring coalitions to designate a prime minister candidate before elections. While Meloni argues the changes will ensure political stability, opposition parties claim the reform is a move to keep the current right-wing coalition in power.
