PoliticsItaly’s proposed election law would award bonus seats to winners, drawing criticism

Italy’s parliament is voting on a bill that would replace the mixed electoral system with proportional representation and award extra seats to a party or coalition reaching at least 42 percent in both chambers. Giorgia Meloni says the change would promote stability; critics call it undemocratic and warn it could give the winning bloc disproportionate parliamentary power and favor her party.
