But politics is in crisis? The data on turnout at the polls in recent regional elections tell us so. But the reality of the numbers require less obvious and deeper analysis. Italy traditionally among the Western countries, is what has always showed a greater popular participation in the consultations to the media. On the other is not exactly correct to say that the turnout is growing, it is true that on a national scale, on the whole, you can record a decline that could be called also physiological, but more specifically any level of consultation is living a story in itself.
Our country has traditionally been communal connotation. And 'the city level of government closest and most felt by the citizens, because the data on the municipal elections, despite the various seasons are mostly constant, even when there are declines of these are never significant.
different matter for provinces and regions, designed around a table and often not geographically representative of the community of reference (one example, the dualism of Emilia-Romagna in the red region). Public largely unknown to the roles and functions to the electorate, therefore little incentive to go to the polls.
policies have instead an ideological characteristic in this case and vote rather than for reasons of lack of interest is bound to protest.
So if the cause of abstention is not to be found only in the crisis of politics, it is also true that the system as a whole in water on all the parties.
The main issue revolves around the bipolarity. Born from the ashes of the first republic and never really took off, the bipolar system has certainly helped to bring stability, if one considers that from 1994 to present only the second Berlusconi has enjoyed five years of relative peace, the rest has always witnessed reversals or early termination of office.
The biggest problems are found on the left where the 'excessive fragmentation, when he is able to constitute a majority, it is always a perennial source of instability with the so-called "policy of small gardens and Prodi should know.
The point is that there is currently no alternative to the bipolar system, certainly not with this electoral law. If the block of the right enjoys a certain stability with a dowry of votes between 40% and 45%, the left is constantly being eroded by the protest movements (Grillo at all) and this is because the largest party can not be truly representative of discontent. In the middle is the "center" of casinos that would not have the strength to even be an alternative in the future.
could get out of this impasse only by amending the election law, along the lines of the two rounds of the French, which would lead to a potential bipartisanship. The price would be the crushing of the smaller parties and their gradual disappearance, but then who goes on to explain that this is a Cricket modern democracy?
Who is the cause of his ill cry himself.
