It seems that many in the center are directed to vote Yes in the referendum Guzzetta. I hope they change their minds.
There is no single reason in the world to vote in that direction. The question of the referendum was portrayed as an attempt to eliminate the negative effects of the law Calderoli. This is not true. If accepted would result in a sharp deterioration in the law: the automatic transition from a bipolar to a forced forced bipartisanship. And not only that the party list that gets the most votes gets the absolute majority of seats.
Some repeats that reform should not be judged by the contingency but for effects of the system. The assumption may make sense in a normal democracy, but in Italy there is not a normal democracy. It is not clear why one should judge the solution Guzzetta disregarding its consequences over the next ten or twenty years. After what will happen in this period the effects of the system of law out of the referendum would have the effect of a drug on the body of the dead. Why?
Why in the given conditions in Italy today, the success of you have only one meaning: the final victory of Berlusconi. If yes can pass the support that you must go to early elections with the new electoral law. The PDL will win and get a overwhelming majority that will allow him to do what he wants. D'Alema and many others argue that if the Yes wins will need to write a new electoral law. The hypothesis has been disproved by the PDL, the law changed since you will immediately enforceable and enforced.
The League has understood very well that it will lose all power to influence the center-right and that the PDL will be able to govern alone. Therefore, opposes the decision. And if Berlusconi were really willing to vote to Yes, the League might have no choice but to bring down the government before the referendum. What it does or not will depend on its will. But in any case within its ranks the alarm is sounded.
It is not clear why the parties instead of the center should be chosen in a vote that they start a peaceful suicide. The PD can claim the reason that he has long supported the validity of a solution very bipolar. But at this point should have realized that the decision "courageous" to go it alone only passes from one defeat to another. For its part IdV can justify the choice of Yes, just because he had collected signatures for a referendum. But today is far more clear then that the solution Guzzetta is a clear deterioration in law Calderoli. So why insist? And then the consistency to a poor choice and now exceeded worth much less than the coherence due to their vocation: yes to pluralist democracy, no one in power.
However IdV PD and are faced with a future already marked. If he wins the Yes, after Berlusconi early elections will be only the full possession of Parliament. It will change the Constitution and the Constitutional Court. Become president of the republic with increased powers. Elected assemblies, which already count for very little, will become the interior boundary of presidentialism. Italian democracy will be forever disfigured.
Faced with this prospect can not even advertise the Deployment for No. of Yes, even without the inclination to suicide of the center, is already quite formidable. It is hoped that June 21 is a date which in itself discourages public participation and must mobilize all our forces to be lacking a quorum. This is not to say go to sea. It must be explained with extreme care: the solution Guzzetta gives all the power in the hands of those who already have full mastery over the media. This is not democracy. E 'establishment of an absolute power plebiscite.
Far lacking a quorum is not a manifestation of indifference. E 'active defense of democracy.
