Referendum to repeal the porcellum

Prof. Stefano Passigli, Professor of Political Science at the University of Florence, in the Corriere della Sera, has formulated a hypothesis regarding the reform of the electoral law that appears very interesting. If the present Parliament (appointed) was not able to reach the above-mentioned reform, it would require a referendum on popular initiative. This Passigli's reasoning: "The lists blocked not only deprive the voters of the right to choose their own representatives, but irreparably harm the balance of powers that is, more than two centuries, one of pillars of constitutionalism. A Parliament of "appointed" did, in fact, no real power over the government and the Premier who, in his capacity as party leader, has power of life and death over their MPs. Similarly, the majority of the premium, present only in Italy, has effects that are opposite to those desired by its proponents. Attributing 55% of seats in the list that even with only 30-35% of the votes has given a vote in more competitors, the majority of the premium also forces the major parties to find any useful vote ", forcing alliances spurious which, as experience amply demonstrates, make it difficult governance. The referendum, if successful, would eliminate the blocked lists el'abnorme majority bonus. In detail Tecnalia deepen, but in any case, the contents appear to be reasonable and the method of the proposal, with a large subscription of "anomalies" before mentioned. "Hello Democrats, repeatedly argued the need for electoral reform, saying, clearly, the prospect of escaping from this bipolar / bipartisanship, which has embarrassed the actual experience of democratic process, trying, with the support of a powerful complex media / political justice, to bend the popular expression of our diverse country in the monism of the Party Law: one the one hand, the other opposed, on the other side. Indeed, this complex political media has been the promoter of this reduction in political life for the benefit of financial lobbies without any control and, better yet, without any popular mandate. This project appeared successful because of the mediocrity of the same policy and its great loss of breath. But some survivors of the First Republic has resisted, he indicated the route wove the canvas! After 18 years of the Second Republic, the reality has imposed on itself, fragmenting, in turn, the longed-monism, which has demonstrated its inherent weakness in swings between absolutism and "dispersed concentration". A good electoral law is a rational respectful of political pluralism and is the primary interest of the country, in order to renew mediation / communication between citizens, individually and / or associated with, and institutions. The Committee that was formed into action only when the House sancisse his unwillingness and inability to reform the voting system. "The parliamentary road, said Passigli, remains the main path. But if Parliament does not know in the coming months to reform the electoral law, the organizing committee will submit questions to the Supreme Court initiating ITER referendum. " In line with its ideals, concepts and culture, "Good Democrats" will make its contribution to thought and action. ;
