After the rejection of bicameralism on December 9, 2018’s referendum, everything suggests that the opportunity for a major change was lost. The project subjected to the referendum was quite bad. However, its rejection is not so bad news. It provides the opportunity to a more consistent and technical reform. It is true that sometimes more from something bad sounds as something worse.
