| dbo:abstract | A referendum on changing the electoral system to a two-round system was held in Romania on 25 November 2007, on the same date as the election to the European Parliament. The referendum was called by President Traian Băsescu on 23 October 2007 when the Parliament of Romania failed to meet a deadline set by him to pass these changes. The precise question was: Do you agree that, beginning with the next elections that will be held for the Romanian Parliament, all deputies and senators be elected in single-member constituencies, based on a majority vote in two rounds? Sunteți de acord ca, începând cu primele alegeri care vor fi organizate pentru Parlamentul României, toți deputații și senatorii să fie aleși în circumscripții uninominale, pe baza unui scrutin majoritar în două tururi? While the system proposed by the president would mirror the French two-round electoral system, Prime Minister Călin Popescu-Tăriceanu has proposed a mixed member proportional system based on the German electoral system. The proposed legislation would also reduce the number of MPs by about 20 per cent. While the Greater Romania Party (PRM) challenged the legality of holding the referendum at the same time as the EP election, the Constitutional Court of Romania decided on November 7 that it was not illegal. (en) Il 25 novembre 2007 si è svolto in Romania un referendum elettorale per cambiare il sistema elettorale verso un modello a doppio turno; la consultazione referendaria si tiene lo stesso giorno delle prime elezioni europee rumene. Il referendum era stato invocato dal Presidente Traian Băsescu il 23 ottobre 2007 quando il Parlamento della Romania non riuscì a approvare in tempo questi cambiamenti. La domanda precisa è stata: Mentre il sistema proposto dal Presidente rispecchierebbe il sistema francese a doppio turno, il Primo ministro della Romania Călin Popescu Tăriceanu ha proposto un sistema proporzionale misto basato sul sistema tedesco. La legge proposta ridurrebbe anche il numero dei parlamentari del 20%. Mentre il Partito Grande Romania ha messo in discussione la legalità di tenere un referendum nello stesso giorno delle elezioni europee, la Corte costituzionale della Romania ha deliberato il 7 novembre 2007 che in questo non vi è nulla di sbagliato. Secondo i risultati, l'affluenza alle urne è stata del 26%, il che significa che anche se l'81% dei votanti si è espresso in favore della proposta, il referendum non è valido. (it) |
