Answer 1

It seems to be the result of the political  system in Italy.The Italian parliament  comprises the Chamber of Deputies and Senate and since 1993 75% of the 315 elected seats in the Italian Senate are elected for a 5 year term on a first past the post basis and the rest elected seats filled by proportional representation. In the Chamber of Deputies  75% of seats are elected on a first past the post system and 25%  by proportional representation. This seems to be a recipe for chaos because no political party or faction ever has an overall majority so can not exercise power except by compromise and partnership with other parties, who sooner or later decide to cease supporting the party in government.  

Answer 2

Because they like it.  MIX.

Every one having rights to do what ever he wants.
