Italy vote reform moves to parliament as parties agree changes

ROME (Reuters) - Italy's main political parties agreed adjustments to centre-left leader Matteo Renzi's electoral reform proposals that should clear the way for the closely watched package to come before parliament on Thursday.

The measures, designed to prevent the kind of messy stalemate left by last year's deadlocked elections, are seen as vital to allowing the creation of stable governments capable of tackling deep reforms to Italy's stagnant economy.
