The article analyzes the crisis of the majority principle as the preferred formula for determining the representativeness of Parliament in Italy, after the 2020's constitutional referendum on the reduction in the number of parliamentarians, in comparison with what happens in some European constitutional experiences. The article's focus is on highlighting the links between the crisis of parliamentary democracy, the crisis of democratic participation, and the influence of new technologies in the formation of consensus, which induce a progressive detachment of liberal and traditional institutions from civil society. In this context and to compensate for the imbalances of the parliamentary form of government, the choice of the electoral system must go in the direction of strengthening the representative principle.
