Reform: Follini, we agree with premiership
July 7, 2003 "We agree with the choice of said the
Christian Democratic Union secretary, Marco Follini, on the chapter
of the reforms contained in the majority scrutiny document. "We
ourselves had agreed with this choice" and "not with the
presidential one". On the issue of electoral system reform, Follini
stated, "In the party there is strong support for the proportional
system. But, we cannot make the error made in '93 when we started
with the electoral law and then we stopped there". As for the
electoral law, Follini believes that reform must "hold firm on two
points: the role of party representation and the power to choose
that voters have in the field". "We are working on this issue," he
added. Among the reforms, Follini was also asked if there might be
the "tatarellum" (a mixed election system where provincial
proportional representation and majority regional system). "It's a
possibility," said Follini. |
