		<description><![CDATA[Under Italian law, an &#8216;abrogative&#8217; referendum – which asks voters if they think a particular item of legislation should be repealed – can be called by anyone, subject to judicial approval and proof of popular support. Three of the proposals in the referendum held earlier this week came from the anti-corruption party Italia dei Valori [...]]]></description>
