Thank you all, let's start !

This is my faq for non italian readers:

1.  It's a constitutional referendum
2.  You have to vote yes or no, you can get the paper and don't vote, or invalidating the vote doing everything else
3.  The majority of voters decide the winner. There is not a minimum of votes required.
4.  If you answer yes, you want to reduce the parliament. If you vote no, all stay as now.
5.  We have two (partially equavalent) branches of the Parliament: Camera (younger deputies), Senato (older ones)
6.  In Camera now we have 630 component; with SI (yes), 400
7.  in Senato now we have 315 senators, with SI, 200; plus some senators can be nominated for all their life long by the President of the Italian Republic: now they are 6, with SI will be 4;  In case of SI there's also a new rule: there's a maximun number of all life long senators: 5.

That's all. Write me as soon as possible declaring your intention to partecipate and receive personal updates on the contest.

ps: the contest starts now because italian ministers published the infos in the last days, sorry.
