  • Isn't the Italian parliamentary system and constition different?

    The UK mess of the last 3.5 years would in no way fly in the Netherlands were I was born, neither voting wise nor constitutionally nor culturally.

    Boris doesn't have to compromise anymore and has the power to remove checks and balances and there is Brexit.

    I was impressed by the Italian parties working together to oust Salvini.

    I guess nobody can say any longer Italian politics is "the worst" in the EU... :)

  • Italian election system is way different. as a lot of italian things it is unclear and unpredictable. In Italy the brexit referendum would have never been allowed.
    Italian parties ousted salvini to preserve their own existence, not to preserve the country (but that's politics). I think no matter what Boris thinks there are a lot of equilibria to be kept into account when brexit will be finalized and just few of them are discussed in Westminster

  • Would it be possible in Italy to change the voting and bring in ID cards, fixed term parliament act, take away checks on the government just like this? Just wondering.

    It is true they may care more about themselves, but the Libdems/SNP/Labour couldn't even properly work together. Sigh.
