In short, "never a joy". The preview of the names on the list for the policies of next September 25 is the reflection, and not too faded, of party elitism.
All those who would have "worked for the Party" over the years were awarded. Blessed ingenuity: and we who believed that the various political representatives should lend their work in the exclusive interest of the Italian people since, it is very clear, that very often, if not always, the small interest of "bottega" could collide , and often strongly collides, with the direct and specific interest of the generality of the associates who decide to place their trust in their representatives.
Put simply, the Italian people seem to be excluded , today more than ever, from any mechanism for choosing their representatives in Parliament. This latter circumstance is anything but short-lived, if only one considers the close link that should exist between the potential candidate called to compete and his / her reference territory.
To give a concrete example: what does the candidacy of the former President of the Senate Marcello Pera have to do with the senatorial college of Northern Sardinia? Excellent politician, nothing to complain about, but what is your link with the territory ? Why should the Sardinians vote for it? How has your political action ever affected the problems of the Sardinian people? It is true that the current electoral law represents the alpha and omega of every distortion , even more so if applied to the result of the drastic "cut" in the number of parliamentarians, which has contributed to significantly reduce popular representation by eliminating root the possibility to choose the representatives with at least the preferential vote.
Undoubtedly the potential aspirants to the chair are designated by the leaders of the various parties through pre-packaged "lists" so that the voter who is preparing to cast his vote for a certain party, finds himself forced to choose the name imposed by the 'high whether they like it or not. If this is "democracy" in the truest sense of the term then, perhaps, something is wrong. We have arrived, without even realizing it, at the . Choosing to express one's preference to a certain party rather than to another translates, neither more nor less, with the in the pre-compilation of the list to be, that same candidate, direct expression and immediate of the leader of the moment. If we paused “to vivisect the fly”, translating the meaning of the reflections just proposed into a practical deduction, we would have to come to a bitter conclusion. That for which the vote of each of us would count for little or nothing in the context of the laborious mechanisms that seem to govern access to the Italian Parliament: the vote would seem to have become the "means" that "justify the end".
