Repubblica has an interesting series with Ilvo Diamanti asking candidates for the leadership of the Partito Democratico for their stance on a number of issues. Today’s is electoral reform. The three serious contenders – Bindi, Letta, Veltroni – each have a different stance. Bindi opts for the system before 2006, Letta for the German system, Veltroni fudges the question completely and says anything other than the current system is okay by him.

The sheer multiplicity of responses given (Adinolfi opts for the Spanish system) is horrifying though, and definitely doesn’t augur well for quick reform.
