Were the last italian region elections a true earthquake or a true revolution? The number of the votes don't confirm that first impression: the Center-Right alliance is only a little bigger than the Center-Left alliance. This isn't a news. In our past years the votes at the administrative elections had reasons different than the reasons moving votes in the politic elections. But nowaday, after the last reform, the regional elections are more political than administrative. Then, if the Right will reach to realize its 'devolution' program, the political meaning of the region elections will be higher. Nowaday also the region 'governors' like the town mayors are elected by the citizens. But my vote is for the ideas not for the person. Star-system is hateful in any case, but it's idiculous and inopportune in politics. I must accept the actual inevitable opposition between two blocs, but I would like it were between the will to release governmental enterprises to private people and the opposite will to maintain inalienable public services; between the free trade and a severe public direction of economy; between the more or less according to one's deserts aristocracy and the claim of a dignified life for any citizen; between the will to privately use all the tchnology and the opposite will to extend all tcnology benefits to all people; between the unrestrained exploitation of the environment resources and the environment respect; between the arrogance of people priding themself on their reached advances and the quiet exercising of his rights by every citizen. All this is what I would like, but, in this case, my bloc would be composed by me and four other people and so it would have no chance to win at the elections. So the confusion between the programs of the two blocs is mandatory, and so the incomprehension between the common people and the political class is always higher.
