Abstract

The Italian Constitution allows different procedures for approving the laws. In this paper we analyze their “strength” correlating their higher or lower use with the “strength” of the government and of the Parliament, measured through two parameters, the governability and the fragmentation.

next chapter Approval Voting as a Method of Prediction in Political Votings. Case of Polish Elections
Footnotes
1
It is possible that a law is approved with decentralized procedure in a chamber of the Parliament and in the Floor in the other chamber.
 
2
In the XVII legislature the values of governability decrease again, despite the formation of a government that could in some ways be considered a grand coalition, with the participation of the two major parties of the opposing wings.
 
3
This decrease is not yet final, since the outcome of the last general elections (XVII legislature, the current one) determines a new growth of the fragmentation at the Senate.
 
4
It is the XIII legislature to mark the true dividing line: during this legislature, we can observe that the delegating laws tend to become predominant, in quantitative terms, if compared to the other decision-making tools, and concurrently with a decline of decree laws (and/or reiteration of decree laws).
