On balance, I think this counts for more than the Austrian presidential election, if for no other reason than Italy seems more threatened by a Moslem invasion via the Med. This may be an indication Italians are waking up.

leave the 17th amendment alone. It is just fine along with the electoral college... Ummm... yes, keep the electoral college, but NUKE the 17th. Vaporize the 17th. The worst thing to befall this republic.

Im expecting the markets to fall drastically by something like 2000 points before rebounding after a few hours. You gotta love the smell of financial markets burning in the morning.

Heavy turnout in northern Italy lead to the defeat of the Italian constitutional referendum.Exit polls saw "No" leading in Sicily and Calabria too. Looks more like a US type urban/rural split rather than the typical Italian north/south split.

I'm firmly in this camp. If the 17th Amendment had never been, we would NOT have Obamacare.
Absent a 17th Amendment, SC RECALLS Graham for his position on amnesty. So think about it before you sing the praises of the 17th. They ain't.

What is the feeling of Italians regarding terrorist, er, muslim migration. And does this election reflect that mood?

The right lost in Austria 46.4% to 53.5%.
Then again, the European Establishment now has to deal with the fact that 46.4% of the voting population prefers what has been vilified as the “radical neo-nazi Right” over the Establishment candidate. And the 2018 legislative elections are coming...

17th Amendment needs to have a stake driven through its heart.
It removed any control the states had over their creation, the Federal government, and turned the Senate into nothing more than a more exclusive, more expensive version of the House.
