We will end up regretting the worst electoral mechanisms. This is why the “rosatellum” (net of complaints about who was nominated and who wasn't) sums up the worst, and turns people away from politics
Ten minutes and we will also miss the Porcellum, with its blocked lists and the Cencelli Manual of the currents that yes, maybe it was a little’ shabby, but it forced the parties to be parties and had only one, main flaw: it prevented voters from punishing or rewarding individuals. Now that the lists are almost completely stripped away, it can easily be verified that Rosatellum has not solved that defect ma, On the contrary, he added the limitations of all major known electoral systems.
You can reward the commendable anti-Camorra personality and, for the game of multiple leaders and options, However, you find yourself chosen as the one who builds consensus with fried fish. You can punish, by not voting for him, the manager who disappointed you and he will be elected anyway, thanks to the parachute that was guaranteed to him elsewhere.
As in the dry proportional, the parties - especially in the South - have had to bow to the major bearers of preferences. As in pure majoritarianism, the establishments escape judgment by taking refuge in armored polling stations.

The new law seems to guarantee only one thing: total control of the leadership over those elected with the possibility of post-election agreements without too much effort, and to hell with everything else
Let's be clear: the complaints of the excluded cannot be entertained here, which are part of the "color" of each pre-electoral phase. Here it only happens that after a five-year period of very authoritative warnings on the need to go to the vote with new rules – rules that would reconcile the country with politics, would restore symmetry to the House and Senate, erase the sarcasm about the "Parliament of Nominees" – the new law exists and seems to guarantee only one thing: total control of the leadership over those elected with the possibility of post-election agreements without too much effort, and to hell with everything else.
«From the bond of mandate to the bond of servitude», the witty people write on social media, commenting on the absolute privilege given to the "loyalty" element in the allocation of safe places, and the exclusion from the lists of any possible suspect of Frondist animus. But this is only the surface breeze, the most visible data, which causes discussion especially in the PD house given that that party – compared to FI and the Five Star Movement – up to now it has prided itself on having protected a certain internal pluralism.
The profound phenomenon is another and it is the progressive homogenization not only of programs but also of "faces" and biographies. Once the bearers of a "line" have been eliminated, of some autonomy and a specific personal reputation, what remains are absolutely interchangeable figures. The beautiful Mediaset journalist who makes her debut as a candidate by specifying "a woman in politics is credible even if she wears a sheath dress" is on Berlusconi's lists, of Renzi or Grillo? And the passionate counselor who displays the "Executioner who gives up" to encourage her students is with Salvini or with Meloni? (Ps: both with the Democratic Party). And again, the "children of art" that dot all the price lists, we are sure that they have skills and visions in line with the parties that nominate them? Or they were caught only for the solid preferential packages guaranteed by their fathers?

At the end of the most troubled legislature of the last twenty years, who passed three electoral laws, a constitutional reform, the relay between a re-elected President of the Republic and an elected one, many had predicted, right on the basis of the Rosatellum, a return to the First Republic.
Now we know that this is not the case. If there was a founding fact of that ancient season it was the existence of well-fenced parties, strongly differentiated, hierarchical but not leaderistic, of a right and a left divided by an abyss, where no one – not even a singer, not even an actor, let alone a journalist or a local ras - he could have placed himself here or there.
The political experience that is opening up now is the exact opposite: a Republic without parties and without reference coordinates, where personal ambitions take root around the leaders and form a system of their own’ while “political ideas” – those "ideas" that seemed to be the indispensable basis of every action in the Polis, and they made us argue a lot – they fade into the background, like ghosts.
