Next EU Crisis: Final Polls Show Italian PM Heading for Referendum Defeat

Mr Renzi has promised to resign if voters reject proposed reforms to the Italian Senate, thus increasing political uncertainty in the Eurozone’s third largest economy.

Final polls out this weekend show the “No” camp widening its lead after the election of Donald Trump in the United States, with voters increasingly keen to punish the political elite and Mr Renzi looking increasingly beleaguered.

The vote is still two weeks away, but a polling blackout will now apply, prohibiting the publication of any new opinion polls before the referendum.

The reforms include limiting the Senate’s powers to veto bills and taking more power from the regions and handing it to the central government.
