Churchill said that democracy has many flaws, but no one had yet invented a better system. The English statesman lived in a country that invented the modern democracy and practice it for many centuries. This is why English people have a very high civic and national sense. When they go to vote, make an informed choice. Assess the various candidates who are closest to their values and interests and if there isn’t full coincidence, vote for the least worst.
Compare this situation to what happens in Italy. You can say that the vast majority of Italians go to vote for ideology or ideals? It seems not. Count only the interest but not for everyone. The rich and wealthy classes know how to defend them even during the vote. But the poor are aware of their condition? Are they able to choose who should be most suitable to represent them?
The mass of Italians doesn’t know and doesn’t want to know of politics. It has passion for their football team. It believes in the new values of TV programs. Easy success, wealth at hand, eternal beauty. It is understandable then because when voting is easy prey of slogans and promises. And what about of ineradicable cronyism and influence of organized crime. There is hope that something can change quickly?
