Tempo di elezioni nel Belpaese. Si dice spesso che per vincere un elezione è fondamentale sfondare al centro perché, come insegna il median voter theorem, the result of an election by a majority will always coincide with the median voter.
Who is the median voter? It would take a sociological survey to answer this question, but I try to do a humble layman. We can say today that the median voter has not yet decided who to vote for and probably has not yet decided whether to go to vote. Probably is a senior, is tied to traditional values \u200b\u200band is a victim of inflation. No coincidence that the issues dear to pensioners become battleground in the election campaign and the candidates vying to them sound promising.
These days are busy calling the homes of my fellow countrymen to better whether the message Veltroni has passed, and to inform them that in the coming days will be in our region to keep its meetings. It 's a waste of time? It 's an operation that could have a disastrous effect boomerang? I think not. The history of Italy bipolarity has shown that mobilize these people, involve them in political debate, it is essential to be able to win the election. Why? With a simple message and direct you can gain the median voter. Berlusconi has a militant and well-established consensus but manages to awaken his potential voters on one side showing a good father and the other as a fierce opponent of the Communists elusive. Veltroni knows how to hit the heart of these people and is certainly more popular than it was Prodi, regardless of the fact that its program is included or not. Paradoxically, to decide are the undecided and a few phone calls at home received directly "by the secretariat of Veltroni " may have the effect of convincing to put a cross on the symbol of the Democratic Party on April 13, those who choose to vote according to their desire to take a walk. Meanwhile
you think about how to put permanently in the attic Berlusconi were held in these days of the aggregator Kilombo elections. Excellent result for Elfobruno that gets more than 50% of the vote, a socialist and anticlerical, but not bad also the result of the Pieroni on popular positions, which gets the confirmation by 24 votes, more than it received in previous elections. This suggests that the median voter Kilombo is quite different from that of our country, in fact the average age is considerably lower (a few are retired) and also the cultural level is probably higher because those who already dedicates part of his free time to write is certainly not an average Italian. One might say then that is definitely better Kilombo 's Italy and able to express a better view of the company (thus it is also his opinion), but then we should question the validity and l'adeguatezza della democrazia. Con ciò voglio dire: é il popolo a doversi scegliere il suo futuro, in tutti i suoi elementi, o sono le cosidette avanguardie (come le definì Lenin) a dover assumere un ruolo guida? In realtà nell' affermazione di Lenin non vi è nulla di innovativo perché sta alla base di una visione aristocratica della società. Aristocrazia o democrazia? Un dilemma insoluto ereditato da Aristotele.
Al di là dei ragionevoli dubbi, Kilombo non è sicuramente un avanguardia in quanto incapace, non solo di avere un ruolo guida nella società (già solo a dirlo mi scappa da ridere), ma anche di organizzarsi in un sistema partecipativo che riesca a coinvolgere tutti i suoi elementi. Su more than 500 members only 100-odd who voted on this point that I would work more on other things because there's nothing more left to be directly involved in politics all their social basis and become involved in building something.
cynicism is the art of seeing things as they are,
not as they should be.
My practicality consists in this:
to know that to beat my head against the wall
is to break your head and not the wall
