A fresh vote on changes to the 5-Star Movement's (M5S) charter will take place on December 5-8 after founder and comic Beppe Grillo called for a re-vote after he was stripped of his role as the populist party's 'guarantor' in the first vote, M5S sources said Tuesday.
    As well as Grillo's role, which leader and two-time ex premier Giuseppe Conte is seeking to demolish, the 'constituent assembly' will also vote again on scrapping the movement's two-term limit, changing its symbol, and Conte's desire to place it firmly in the progressive camp.
    In ending Grillo's guarantor role the first vote also deprived him of a 300,000 euro a year pay check.
    Grillo's supporters, including former transport minister Danilo Toninelli, are appealing to M5S members to think again.
