The ‘No’ vote has won in the Italian constitutional referendum
Prime Minister Renzi speaking now:
– Clear win for ‘no’
– Turnout higher than expected
– Renzi says he takes full responsibility for the defeat
You will see commentary that the president is not obliged to accept the PM’s resignation. I am no Italian constitutional scholar, so I’ll take that as true. Its difficult to see Renzi continuing on after this speech though.
Italian PM Renzi speaking: Italian people have spoken, result is clear
