During the election campaign, one of the points of Italia dei Valori’s election manifesto was to limit the cost of politics.

Italia dei Valori has presented 3 amendments to the Finance law to reduce the waste in politics.
The only amendment that has been accepted fixes a limit on the salary and the final payments to public managers who are often sent away with millions of Euro after a failed management situation.
Two other amendments to modify the current regulations on election expenses to the parties have been turned down by all the parties - those in the majority grouping and those in opposition.
The first asked that the count for election expenses to the parties should be done on the basis of actual votes cast (and thus to reduce the numbers) and not, as now, on the number having the right to vote.
Today the parties receive, according to the results in the different elections, a percentage of 4 Euro per Italian citizen with the right to vote for each year of a parliament: One Euro for the elections to the Lower House, One Euro for the Upper House (Senate), one Euro for the Regional elections and one Euro for the European elections.
The second amendment was to abolish the regulation that allows for money to be paid to the parties if there are early elections, for double the value. One for the interrupted term of office and one for the new one.
Italia dei Valori is apparently the only party in Parliament looking to reduce waste and the privileges of politicians. In reality, it is representing all Italian citizens, not just those that voted for it.
