Anyway, I was not refering to Italy, but to Greece. With the current deal in place, the Greek parliament is reduced to a rubber stamp department of the Troika.
The Euro-Summit `Agreement' on Greece - annotated by Yanis Varoufakis | Yanis Varoufakis
The government needs to consult and agree with the Institutions on all draft legislation in relevant areas with adequate time before submitting it for public consultation or to Parliament [i.e. Greek Parliament must, again, after five months of short-lived independence, become an appendage of the Troika - passing translated legislation mechanistically.]
And, furthermore the Greek government must own their austerity:
In this context, the ownership by the Greek authorities is key [i.e. the Syriza government must sign a declaration of having defected to the troika's `logic'], and successful implementation should follow policy commitments.
Taken together, this limits the possible governments of Greece to governments that are pro austerity and accepts the Troika writing the laws of Greece. On pain of economic blockade through a banking system made illiquid.
