Democracy Italian Style: Party Talks Forever
After a nation-wide series of corruption scandals in 1992/93 and an electoral shift that replaced large part of the political class and parties in the following elections of 1994, Italian politics seems still all the same. Fifteen years of discussion and three inter-parliamentary commissions have produced - nothing but mountains of worthless paper. The Italian people and the European partners are still waiting for the long overdue reform of the Constitution of 1948, but parties won't agree, because they fear to lose part of their extra-large power extent. Thus the only institutional change in the last twenty years has been imposed by popular decision through referendum. But even this instrument has shown less successful, as a new referendum held in April was thwarted. Now Italian parties prepare to elect a new State President just the traditional way: let's talk about it!
