Electoral law, Conte: ‘It’s a “super-scam”, the government is on its last legs’

Milan, 27 February (LaPresse) – “A super-bonus for the majority that gives over 100 MPs to the coalition that wins 40% of the votes: to avoid losing the elections, they are trying everything, even this “super-scam” law. Just think: if we go to the polls with this electoral law and the referendum passes, the government in power – whether right-wing, centrist or left-wing – will be able to count on a Parliament that is far removed from the will of the people.‘ This was written on Facebook by the president of the M5S, Giuseppe Conte. ’A minority will have many more MPs with whom it will choose the President of the Republic and the various guarantee bodies. A current example. The Parliament thus composed will be able to appoint the lay members of the two new CSMs, one for judges and one for public prosecutors. A Parliament thus composed and a President of the Republic elected by that Parliament will appoint the lay members of the High Court,” he adds. “Ultimately, we will have “political” members who will join these bodies with a specific mandate (thanks also to a fake draw) and, instead, robed members who will be chosen at random (thanks to a pure draw from a pool of 9,000/10,000 judges). This government is on its last legs. They are in their fourth year of government and instead of worrying about the real urgencies of families and businesses, they are painting disturbing scenarios: with 40% approval, they aspire to overwhelming power to decide everything and, above all, to protect themselves from judicial investigations. All this is unacceptable: the first thing to do is to say NO to the caste-saving referendum on 22 and 23 March,” concludes Conte.
