"You are good minister Salvini not to be afraid of us, but I sometimes fear you".

Piano Salvini: parliamentary cut would take place after the elections
Immediately vote the constitutional reform dear to the 5 stars on the cutting of parliamentarians and then return directly to the vote. The process to make the reform effective, which requires the necessary time, first of all the three months that must elapse to verify that nobody is asking for the referendum to take place, would start after the elections and, therefore, with the new Parliament. This is the plan the League is working on, it is reported. For the Lega, in fact, it could be worth the precedent of 2005, with the constitutional reform better known as 'Devolution', approved by the center right next to the end of the legislature. It was decided to postpone the procedures required by the Constitution until after the political vote. The referendum took place only in 2006, after the political elections, which however decreed a change of majority: the center-left won and the referendum rejected the reform, which never entered into force.
