ITALY: Stability for now as M5S supporters approve new coalition.
- PM Conte will travel to Quirinal Palace on Wednesday to present list of
ministers for governing coalition to Pres. Mattarella.
- 26-point plan agreed to by PD and M5S seeks to ensure passage of 2020 budget
to avoid VAT hike as prime objective. 
- M5S ensures commitment to reduce no. of deputies and senators, and change to
electoral system towards more proportional representation. Unlikely to promote
stable government formation in future elections. 
- More accommodative lines taken towards EU relations and immigration
restrictions than under M5S-League gov't. Improves relations between
Rome-Brussels, but could boost League popularity over coming quarters.
