The Big Picture
Italy´s leader Renzi`s future largely depends on the result of the Italian referendum on the 4th of December. On this day, citizens will vote on the largest reform package in recent history. It is the mother of all reforms. Italy´s citizens need to vote, as Renzi has no parliamentary majority to enforce change. The reform concerns the second Italian parliamentary house, who´s composition and powers would be radically shortened. Decisions should be made at a faster pace and the high costs involved cut. Renzi wants to curtail the Justice department and reduce bureaucracy. The comedian Beppo Grillo, leader of Italy ´s “5 Star“ opposition party, sees the referendum as a chance to depose Grillo. Should a new election result from the referendum, uncertainty over Europe and the Euro will resurface. This referendum also represents a vote over Europe’s current political stance.
