Meloni’s overhaul of Italian electoral system | Explained

Italian lawmakers have approved a major change to the country's electoral system. The new rules will replace the current first-past-the-post system with proportional representation, where seats in parliament will be allocated based on the proportion of votes received by each party. This change is significant because it will likely lead to more coalition governments and less dominance by any single party. The impact on Italian politics and potentially the economy will be worth watching in the coming months.
