Party system, "legislative formant" and Constitutional Court: a few comments on the reduction in the number of parliamentarians

Abstract

Today, the issue of reducing the number of Members of Parliament proposed to flag of the 5 Star Movement and on which the electoral body will be called to to pronounce next March 29th seems to have aroused not only adhesions, but also nerous criticisms aimed at highlighting, for the most part, some consequences not entirely consistent that would be produced on a concrete level. However, to ensure that the comparison referendum can be a real opportunity for democratic participation, to hide behind an a priori and radical attitude of distrust and skepticism about the proposed solutions does not seem to be a good path to take, particularly if the task of the jurist is substantiated in the objective of "generating processes of awareness and evolution and
participation".
