Am I the only italian thinking that this country is going in a very bad direction, politically speaking?
Or maybe it’s better to say that if this electoral law is going to be approved, we will suddenly find ourself in the same condition that was in 1923?

I don’t know exactly what I’m feeling, but I’m a kind of scared…

    I do not understand this law. What does it mean for Italy?

    There are two different points.

    1- Changing the electoral law when the statistic say you’re going to lose, and 6 monthrs before elections, is wrong,
    2- Changing the system so you will have “gift votes” for every seat you win (hard to translate it in english, look for “Acerbo Law” on google, it’s a similar law approved by Mussolini in 1923 before his dictature…) in order to rise your “pool” is double wrong.

    I don’t think this law is going to be approved, but would be a great step behind for Italian democracy if it would be… that’s for sure.
