La nuova legge elettorale italiana e i dubbi di costituzionalità

The new Italian electoral law (November 2017) is the sixth in the history of the Republic and presents serious reasons for criticism both for the approval procedure and for the dubious constitutionality on the merits. This apart from the lack of suitability to achieve the objective of guaranteeing a solid and non-fragile basis for the governability of the country. The confidence vote, adopted for the approval of the law in the two branches of parliament, is based on a superficial and casual interpretation of the relevant provisions of parliamentary regulations, detached from the spirit of the constitution and its last paragraph of article 72. The political class, which has developed the new law, not only has not learned from the most recent political experiences, but has also neglected the guiding lines of constitutional jurisprudence, reaffirmed in the last two sentences on the subject, n. 1 of 2014 and the n. 35 of 2017 (which the present volume reports in the appendix), which declared the partial unconstitutionality of the electoral laws of December 2005 and May 2015.
