What's at stake?
Arguments pro-reform: "More efficiency, less expensive"
Arguments anti-reform: less representation (small parties would be the more impacted) & (as Liliana Segre said): "Parliament is the highest expression of democracy, it can't be considered just as a cost."
Why is it happening BTW?
It was an electoral promise from the Five Star Movement, part of the coalition deal with the PD to set a government instead of going for elections as Salvini wanted
Prognostics are "Yes" is set to win (officially supported by 5SM, Lega, PD)
If the reform passes more reforms are to be announced eg to address proportionality (also note that to reduce public spending the system would need to be addressed, no just the numbers)
I'll personally make no prognostics on the result; In any case it isn't the end of the story.
Anyone knows if there's a link btw Matthew Elliott (Leave campaigner) & Steven John Elliott (ex-director of SFW Ltd/compagny that provided EU Ref result collation software, who resigned on July 21 in 2016)?
Common name so prob coincidence, just curious

You don’t stand against evil because evil is directed at people you deem worth your support
You stand against evil because evil must be stopped, end of
Please stop saying Ukraine's skirt is too short and focus on stopping the agressor *that happens to be the issue here*
“But escalation”, you say?
(Sigh) #BreakingNews: Ukraine has no intention to invade Russia.
NATO has no intention to invade Russia.
The only thing “endangering Russia” is its shattered imperialist pride at being unable to crash a much smaller country.
Supporting that helps no one
Ukrainians ain’t stupid.
They have exactly 0 interest or will to attack Russian civilians.
They just want Russia out.
On the other hand, Putin blowing up more of his own (as he did to get an ironclad grip on power) to convince them to become canon fodder may be on the table.
Now not saying it’s going to happen but we do know Russia is fine with bombing Ukrainian churches, and the “war against Christianity” rhetoric has been planted already by Western assets like Kremlin Klaxon -er, I meant Tucker Carlson
As the Russian army has been severely hit lately -an info that the Kremlin couldn’t keep from the public-, such an operation to force holy mobilisation on uncooperative Russians while trying to propaganda the West into stopping (finally) useful weapons delivery would be Putinable
In any case it’s obvious this “truce” is nothing but a military operation, the only question being how the details of it.
If they wanted peace, they’d go home.
Imagine your reaction if, after your athlete wins the Olympics, the organising country tells you it cannot play your national anthem as it doesn't have it, and ask if the one from the neighbour country (that invaded and perpetrated genocide on you) is fine...
Watching this, I suddenly realised @komarnyckyj, do you know how I got Ukraine on the map?
Not in school, not in the news..
In Rythmic gymnastics
Катерина Серебрянська, Олена Вітриченко, all the ones who followed...
(And well that's how I got Belarus was a specific culture too)
