"Meloni's Reform: Strengthening Prime Minister's Powers and Banning Technocrat Government in Italy"
Italy's government has approved a constitutional reform that would significantly increase the powers of the prime minister, allowing for direct election by the people for a five-year term. The proposal aims to ensure stability and guarantee that those in power are chosen by the people. Italy's traditionally weak prime minister role, combined with a fractious political landscape, has contributed to the country's political instability, with 68 different governments in the past 77 years.
