Well, I am half italian, native speaker, I can read italian newspapers, and the referendum was about to switch from a system having 2 equal chambers (camera dei deputati and Senato) and one with an additional , only consulting, little camera made of local powers. More or less like the german Bundesrat. So it was about to change their constitution, and nothing about power of administration. Sorry for that, you are just talking of things you cannot know, just because you cannot read italian press.

As any populistic person, you only talk of things you don't know, hoping never met someone which knows. Of course, being me a native speaker, if you want to insist, we may switch to italian....if you want to talk about the Bundesrat, I could also switch to German. No problem for me.

I guess your anglo-saxon english echo chamber failed, this time.
