Italian Constitutional referendum. Sardinia returns highest national “no” vote

Sardinians have rejected constitutional reform with an emphatic No vote in Italy's referendum, which lead to Prime Minister Matteo Renzi to the resignation. 72,2% of voters have said NO in Sardinia vs the national average of 59%, making Sardinia the first region where has prevailed the "NO" in Italy.

Sardinians have rejected the changes of the 2nd part of the Italian Constitution, which were considered by large part of constitutional lawyers dangerous for the democratic liberties. Infact it could give to much power to the Prime Minister, they considered the abolishment of italian senate with the replacement of a House of Senators done by presidents of the italian regions who could benefit the parliamentary immunity and in addition the constitutional reform considered also an anti democratic clause called "Supremazia Nazionale" (National Supremacy) which forbid the regional or local authorities to reject the realization on the own territory of projects believed damaging (for example gas drillings, incinerators or nuclear waste repositories).

This result is quite obvious, Sardinia risked to haven't any senator in the new italian senate formed by regional presidents if the referendum reforms passed, because the sardinian autonomous statute forbid who politicians could have more than one political office.
