For a little more than three months from the primary constituent for the Democratic Party does not seem yet to be fired into the hearts and minds of Italians that desire for identification and participation is the fuel of each new business successful policy? And because even the dramatic drop in the field of Walter Veltroni after an initial peak of attention and enthusiasm seems today (as confirmed by surveys) have difficulty with a view to reversing this trend?
There are three main questions which, in my opinion, activists and potential supporters of the Democratic Party are waiting to see resolved before it joined with conviction that which would have the potential to be the real novelty of the Italian political landscape of the next decade.
First, the issue of holding universally desired, but essentially denied. What is the point, they ask many, to invite a few million Italians to vote on October 14th if everything seems already decided? If the leader has already been crowned in Rome, where the answering party is in the process seems to divide the candidates (one and indivisible, a little 'some Ds' Margherita) of the 20 regional secretaries, if you closed lists without providing an opportunity to express preferences that likely will mirror rigidly correntizie divisions of the old equipment?
risk (which many today consider the most concrete case scenario), to see the vote only a few tens of thousands of representatives of the political class would be almost automatic consequence of this scenario. If
no signal came from a less defensive approach of the Democratic Party leadership is likely, then, to lose a second crucial challenge: to succeed in meeting the demand for novelty and discontinuity that now emerges from a society disillusioned and angry with regard to politics. Nuovismo is not what it takes to center, but certainly a lot different from what we know. A real party, led by strong political cultures and modern, open and truly democratic in its internal as well as Article 49 of the Constitution. A party that is not born, so neither by the collision or by a simple arrangement of power between the DS and the Margherita, but contamination from a real open to outside input.
The sympathy that today the couple read-Bersani seems to inspire in a hypothetical challenge to Veltroni-Franceschini seems, for example, due to the idea that new things will arise necessarily from the passing of the old membership and that in future we will be joined on projects homogeneous political and not merely by juxtaposition of representatives of the old parties.
Finally it must be said that it seems quite incomprehensible (and ultimately very Berlusconi) be restricted to a discussion on leadership even when little or nothing has been said and decided on policy choices, the idea of \u200b\u200bthe company and the model will have to convince the party that Italians to choose the Democratic Party.
Clearly the extraordinary space that now exists for an electoral force policy choices that were characterized by transparency and restraint, capable of rejecting the parasites and the advantageous position, able to reward merit and quality from the selection of its leaders. A party with a light but professional, which cleverly uses the primary or other means of broad participation in order to avoid the risk of self-quit. A Pd
with these characteristics could credibly seek the consent of the Italians to change the current electoral law that makes it impossible to govern the country, to help families and to modernize the public administration, to promote free enterprise and a more modern network of social solidarity that can to ensure acceptance and security, to investing in technology networks and to promote a fair relationship between generations that does not force you to choose whether to pay the pensions of those today or tomorrow, and to the debt as soon as possible to lower taxes.
And perhaps, again, if not passion, at least some 'of the confidence that is needed to start a bet whose success or failure will depend not just the fate of Italy.
