Elections. It does not work
read the election results of these times I take note of deep and slow attrition of the democratic process in our country.
The first alarming signal is distorted, however the turnout makes the outcome of the vote.
The second, and even more dangerous element, which emerges from this election is the substantial impasse between the two main coalitions. Nothing seems able to really happen with these rules of the game and with this logic of political representation.
Many are tired of this "boring" politics. And many others seem to have surrendered to an impossible political evolution. It is not something to be taken underestimated: while something will happen in the coming months! This
something elsewhere in Europe and worldwide, is going on. A look at Italy instead, everything seems to still "manageable", and "government" seem to be the three prevalent forms of social feeling: the League's popular resentment, selfishness and cowardice Berlusconi democracy.
League of Malice, territorial and federal, has spoken at length. It seems almost a normal and healthy reaction. We have taken around the organization and management of the state? So, we, not only the North but increasingly and inexorably south, we become anti-statism, regionalism and localism: that is, simply pre-Italians. Berlusconi
selfishness, and sloppy slob, voyeuristic and, deep down, banal ignorant, we are all impregnated: and this we are pleased, resigned, we also do a little 'suck.
the Democratic timidity - at times, frankly Democrat and, at times, just feel-good, structurally uncertain and contradictory - we fail to resign instead. E 'tasteless and without a future, it seems inevitable, as the tedium leopard. We've got him as a bad season of which we can not get rid of.
Do we really think a country like ours - neither better nor worse than other European countries - may be nourished for a long time these moods?
I think not.
E 'a scenario that seems to have written, cultivated in the silence of those extended in recent years have abdicated policy. Of those - and they are legion - that just hearing the word "political" feel fit the urticaria. Or those of others - and they are a detestable silent majority - who tell you that there is nothing much to do and that you'd better give up, too - most recent idiot - the simple and inescapable truth ...
But my inner Candido raised: it is really impossible and unnecessary to imagine a different scenario, a scenario that does not put in mechanically on the worst?
Perhaps our questions are an integral part of ancient desires frustrated, they are sons of a collective and individual that will not give up. Inside is everything of course. There are some conservative insistence that obsessively looking back, there are the revolutionary aspirations, nourished by a banal clichés, but made more worthy of authentic representation of the thousands of economic and social problems that require emergency crisis in the political debate, and finally There are many naive intent to look beyond, with reckless willingness to think differently to our common future.
This is the state of the art of politics and Left today.
But what hurts the most is they do not believe that this state of things can still change, amend, overturn.
I say, unfortunately, looks - more than words - of the many who hear carelessly the last election results, he says - if any were needed - the thought skeptical of those who no longer want to wait at least that breath news and saying, categorically, that everything has now happened. It provides, finally, to death of many, who say they left and no longer want to stand in society. "
is why, tonight, I get bored with the election percentages. Why
I would like the policy to return once again to be "speech." A speech that opens and that makes it open.
