ROME (Reuters) - The Italian parliament passed Prime Minister Matteo Renzi's flagship constitutional reform on Tuesday, opening the way for a referendum later this year on an overhaul aimed at giving Italy more stable governments.
Renzi says the reform will increase political stability and end decades of revolving-door governments that have made it difficult to revive the country's debt-ridden economy. He has promised to resign if the referendum goes against him.
