Guilty already

Italy's senate has approved by a two thirds majority the proposal that a balanced budget should be a constitutional requirement in Italy.

Apart from this being a dangerous hostage to fortune, the news (see below) that Italy won't balance its budget before 2017 means the government knows it will be in breach of the constitution as soon as the bill is signed into law.

It's a different world here.
