  2. Translation of the summary (first 3 minutes) is the following (1/2):
  3.  
  4. Let's see how the new Senate works, folks, because the fastest Matteo has taken an easy process, take two system and multiply them by 5: 10 systems. The snakes and ladders game, stuff for psychiatric departments naturally, will increase out of proportion the contentious between Chamber of Deputies (CoD) and Senate (S), Parliament and Regions, with infinite conflicts of power that will all end in front of the Constitutional Court. It's the "Office for Complications of Simple Affairs". Please, follow me in these 10 stages of the snakes and ladders game.
  5.  
  6. 1. For Constitutional Laws, the system remains the same
  7. - Perfect bicameralism between CoD and S
  8.  
  9. 2. For Ordinary Laws, absolute chaos:
  10. - Approval is up to the CoD and S can always give its 2¢
  11. - Montecitorio Palace (CoD) approves, sends the law to Madama Palace (S) where within 10 days 1/3 of senators' votes are enough to review the text
  12.  
  13. 3. In case of review by S, there're 2 options:
  14. - S can leave everything as it was decided by CoD or amend the law within 30 days
  15.  
  16. 4-5. If they amend within 30 days, the law goes back to CoD who have last word and there, there're 2 options:
  17. - Receive and approve the amendments by S
  18. - Ignore the amendments by S and restore the original text approved by CoD with the Simple Majority (half +1)
  19.  
  20. 6. Completely different procedure for laws about Territorial Autonomy's Matters:
  21. - If the government decides to activate them, there's the Clause of Supremacy (don't ask me what it is because it's too complicated <TL: yes he actually says this>)
  22. - S has again 10 days to review or ignore them, then 30 more days to approve eventual changes
  23. - If S doesn't touch anything, it passes as CoD decided.
  24.  
  25. 7-8-9. If S changes anything, the text goes back to the CoD:
  26. - CoD can discard the amends done by S, but in this case the Simple Majority won't be enough, that would be too simple, they need Absolute Majority vote (half +1 of the elected)
  27. - In case S's amends were done with Simple Majority, CoD can also overcome it with Simple Majority vote, maybe, this is not very clear because they're still arguing about it.
  28. - Without majority in the CoD, the law passes as S amended it.
  29.  
  30. 10. The Financial Law follows yet another different process:
  31. - CoD approves it then sends it to S
  32. - S automatically votes it but have only 15 days to amend it
  33. - If S amends with Simple Majority, CoD can re-amend the amendments with Simple Majority
  34. - If S amends with "Complicated" Majority and CoD doesn't reach a "Complicated" Majority, nobody knows how the fuck we're going to figure it out. Then, if there're conflicts or appeals, presidents of both chambers meet to find a resolution, but, the presidents are 2 people: if one has an idea and the other has another idea, who wins? the most beautiful one? or do we go in front of the constitutional courts? about these "silly issues" the reform doesn't care, thus leaves everything suspended.
  35.  
  36. This way We have gone from Perfect Bicameralism to Bullshit Bicameralism/Crazy Bicameralism (2/2).
