We are already preparing for the 69th government within 6 months
What is the point in having a bicameral legislature if they are both the exact same?
lol that makes almost 1 gov per year. Most democratic country in the world
I read once – really don’t remember where – that the system is built (or reformed when changes happen) in such a way to prevent another Mussolini trying to seize power. If anyone tries that, it immediately falls apart. Unfortunately that means the spineless and the greedy also get to mess up the potentially “normal” governments.

Because apparently journalists still didn’t learn that Italians don’t vote for the government, but for the parliament. The government is an expression of the parliament and can change whenever it doesn’t have a majority of votes to support it.
In a world where one party has 49% of the seats and the rest is shared between 20 parties, if those 20 parties agree to join forces and leave the big party out, the resulting government would be perfectly legitimate without need for further elections (up to the parliament’s mandate end)
For the first 40 years it has been only a turn over of ministers, since almost all came fron the same party, the Christian Democrats (DC).
After 1992 the turn over decreased, never happened again to see 6 governments in 5 years (as in three legislations before 92).

I guess Italy has a good democracy.
