Ultimora.net - POLITICS reported that the Chamber had definitively approved the new electoral law with 227 votes in favor and 164 against, in a secret ballot, and that the text, already approved by the Senate, had become law. According to reports, the system provided for a proportional structure with a governability bonus: 70 seats in the Chamber and 35 in the Senate for the list or coalition that exceeded 42% in both Chambers, with a limit of 220 and 113 seats respectively. If the threshold was not reached or the results were different between the two Chambers, pure proportionality would apply. The author added that preferences would return after the blocked first candidate, that it would be mandatory to indicate the prime minister candidate, and that the thresholds would be 3% for lists and 10% for coalitions. It was also reported that voting from abroad would become stable for those who had been domiciled elsewhere for at least nine months for study, work, or health. #LeggeElettorale #Politica #Italia (translated)

On the night of the elections, after it became clear that his candidates were winning the elections for the presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina and for the presidency of the Republika Srpska (entity with a Serbian majority), Dodik publicly thanked Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, who had supported him three days before the vote. #AlegeriBosnia #Dodik #Trump (translated)

The number of Republican candidates distancing themselves from Trump ahead of the November 3 midterm elections is on the rise, given the decline in popularity of the White House leader, which could lead to a loss of control of Congress in favor of the Democrats. #alegeri2026 #DonaldTrump #PartidulRepublican (translated)

Ultimora.net highlighted the main contents of the Stabilicum and reported that the following day the Chamber would vote definitively on the law, by secret ballot. In the case of rejection, Giorgia Meloni intended to call early elections, according to the site. The proposal envisaged a proportional system with a majority premium of 70 seats in the Chamber and 35 in the Senate, up to a maximum of 220 deputies and 113 senators. The premium would kick in with at least 42% of the votes in both Chambers; below that threshold, seats would be allocated proportionally. Uninominal constituencies would be eliminated, except for those in South Tyrol and Aosta Valley. Each list would have a blocked leader and six other candidates, with the possibility of expressing up to three preferences while respecting gender alternation. Ultimora.net indicated barriers of 3% for lists and 10% for coalitions, with the retrieval of the list with the most votes among those below 3%. Parties and coalitions would also have to indicate a candidate for prime minister, whose name would not appear on the ballot. The proposal would reduce the geographical divisions for voting by Italians abroad in the Chamber from four to two — Europe and the rest of the world — and to one in the Senate. For those living away from home, the site wrote, voting at the place of temporary residence would be possible after at least nine months, or three for those undergoing treatment, provided they registered with a list within 30 days of meeting the requirements and at least 45 days before the elections. This option would be extended to caregivers of family members hospitalized outside their region of residence. Finally, for parties without parliamentary representation, the minimum number of signatures required would rise from 1,500 to 6,000 per constituency; for Italians abroad, between 500 and 1,000 would be needed. Electronic collection of signatures would not be permitted, according to Ultimora.net. #LeggeElettorale #Elezioni #Italia (translated)

"Russi and nationalists want to shatter the EU. We fight for our Europe." In the photo, Marta Kos, EU Commissioner for Enlargement BRUSSELS. The enlargement of the European Union to candidate countries "is a geopolitical imperative," according to Ursula von der Leyen, who now must convince EU governments to approve the necessary steps to facilitate the accession process for the states waiting at the door. #AllargamentoUE #Montenegro #Albania (translated)

"There are two ways in which the EU can strengthen itself. Through enlargement, which has made us stronger, or through more partnerships. And what Ursula von der Leyen was talking about (the associate member formula, ed.) means what we can offer, at most, to a country that is not European. We are very open to going further, but for the moment EU treaties do not allow for associate member status.” And to make the atmosphere even more solemn, the plan for Ukraine's membership, alongside other candidate states like Montenegro, Albania, and Moldova, was presented at a press conference with the Commissioner for Enlargement, Marta Kos, who expressed her “confidence” in how the process is progressing, even directly appealing to the EU Council to invoke “a strong political commitment from European leaders”: “In the last nine months we have achieved results far beyond those obtained in the last 25 years and this would not have been possible without the member states,” she stated. #Ucraina #UnioneEuropea #adesione (translated)

A credible financial plan could have a limited effect in stopping the hemorrhage, as the candidates who are gaining momentum in the polls for next year's presidential elections - far-right Marine Le Pen and far-left Jean-Luc Mélenchon - have pledged to reverse Macron's reforms. #Macronomics #Franța #crizădatorii (translated)

Michele Bonatesta wrote that Matteo Renzi had caused the fall of the M5S-PD government, voted for La Russa, supported the abolition of the RdC, and voted against the minimum wage. He also stated that Renzi had voted with the right over 80% of the time and supported right-wing candidates in regional and municipal elections. He concluded with a derogatory comparison, asserting that a rattlesnake would offer more guarantees. #politica #Renzi #Governo (translated)

Federico Albano commented on the FP3 data in Sepang, stating that Antonelli appeared fast and that, in his last attempt, he had increased power, with visible effects on traction. After some understeer and oversteer difficulties, according to Albano, Mercedes had found a good setup; he also judged the car impressive in the fast section of the second sector, attributing the improvement to aerodynamic updates. Albano indicated Red Bull as Mercedes' main rival: in his opinion, the car was strong on the straights and in the fast sections, maintaining a good compromise even in slow corners, although it was not optimized for all turns. Regarding Ferrari, he wrote that it was difficult to evaluate, but it seemed more stable compared to the previous day, with a more solid rear and good balance between the axles. However, he noted weak performance in acceleration and in the fast sections, as well as a lot of harvesting at corner 10. According to Albano, the engine was still significantly downpowered; it remained to be seen how much power could be increased without overheating the rear tires and how much the team had sacrificed qualifying for race pace. Alonso added that McLaren was also difficult to interpret: it had shown good time attack with medium tires but then failed to lower the time. Albano wondered if the team would increase power in qualifying, as in previous races. He concluded that the fight for the front row could involve several drivers and that, in his opinion, the track and tire conditions could widen the gaps without providing decisive indications about the race. #Formula1 #GP #Motorsport (translated)

Periodaccio per Trump ... Uno spiraglio di sole per il mondo. Contenuto AI---I modelli predittivi e i sondaggi per le elezioni di metà mandato del 3 novembre 2026 confermano che i Democratici mantengono un netto vantaggio per il controllo della Camera dei Rappresentanti, mentre la contesa per il Senato rimane estremamente serrata, sebbene orientata a favore dei Democratici nelle ultime rilevazioni. I dati e le proiezioni variano a seconda delle diverse fonti di analisi: Proiezioni per la Camera dei Rappresentanti (U.S. House) I Democratici hanno bisogno di guadagnare solo 3 seggi per strappare la maggioranza ai Repubblicani. Attualmente, i principali previsori indicano uno scenario fortemente favorevole al ribaltamento della Camera: • Decision Desk HQ (28 settembre 2026): Assegna ai Democratici una probabilità del 75% di vincere la Camera, con una proiezione di 234 seggi totali. • Silver Bulletin / Nate Silver (28 settembre 2026): Mostra un forte incremento per i Democratici, che guidano la media dei sondaggi generici per il Congresso con un distacco di D+9,2 punti tra i probabili elettori. • Polymarket (Mercato di scommesse, 29 settembre 2026): Riflette il consenso degli scommettitori con una stima implicita molto alta a favore della conquista democratica della Camera. Il Cook Political Report ha recentemente spostato 15 sfide congressuali a favore dei Democratici. Proiezioni per il Senato (U.S. Senate) Il Senato è considerato il terreno di scontro più incerto, poiché i Repubblicani difendono una maggioranza di 53 a 47. Tuttavia, l'attuale indice di gradimento del Presidente Trump (attestato intorno al 33% secondo i sondaggi Reuters/Ipsos e al 37% per NBC News) sta complicando la difesa repubblicana in stati storicamente favorevoli: • Decision Desk HQ (28 settembre 2026): Indica una situazione in bilico ma favorevole ai Democratici, stimando al 54% la probabilità che questi ultimi ottengano il controllo del Senato (con un'ipotesi di 51 seggi). • Polymarket (29 settembre 2026): Gli scommettitori attribuiscono ai Democratici una probabilità implicita del 62,5% di conquistare il Senato. Il mercato sulla combinazione del bilanciamento del potere ("Balance of Power") quota l'ipotesi di un "Democratic Sweep" (vittoria democratica in entrambe le camere) al 62%, mentre la combinazione "Senato ai Repubblicani e Camera ai Democratici" si attesta al 31%. • Silver Bulletin (28 settembre 2026): Evidenzia che i candidati democratici registrano lievi vantaggi nei sondaggi in sei stati chiave considerati "tipping-point": Texas (D +3,4), Maine (D +2,5), Ohio (D +4,5), Iowa (D +2,0), Michigan (D +3,2) e Alaska (D +2,4). L'andamento di fine settembre delinea una situazione strutturalmente difficile per la coalizione repubblicana guidata da Trump, specialmente alla Camera, mentre per il Senato i margini nei singoli stati chiave rimangono ridotti e suscettibili di variazioni nell'ultimo mese di campagna elettorale
