Peter Gwynne, Contributor (Inside Science) In a referendum last September, Italians voted by a margin of roughly 70% to 30% to reduce the number of members in the country s parliament by more than one-third. The decision, which will go into action at the next national election, will cut the combined membership of Italy s Chamber of Deputies and its Senate from 945 to 600. The Five Star Movement, a party in Italy s coalition government, called for the referendum, suggesting it would save taxpayers money. But proponents also raised a critical question: How large, or small, should a national legislature be to allow members both to take soundings from the people who elected them and to develop effective policies?
