Should I Put A Heating Pad On My Sebaceous Cyst

the horror of not voting on the Mafia

Sometimes I bump into people on the network that do not support the vote. The recurring themes are always the same and often follow those of the v-day Cricket. Here I try to consider some, explaining the reasons why I think the vote is not really 'a horror.

The electoral law does not by 'chance' to choose members of parliament, I do not vote.

Answer: this electoral law that allows parties to appoint members of parliament and 'was promoted and adopted Berlusconi, Fini, Casini and Bossi when it has one of the most 'large parliamentary majorities in the history of the republic. These same people have also prevented in a few months you approve an election law that would allow citizens to choose their own representatives. The Democratic Parity
wants a system in which each member responds to a specific group of electors (the electoral college), so that 'everyone must assume their responsibility', who instead are deleted from the electoral law.
Vote Democratic Party means to give strength to a party that has never supported this absurd election law and that has established in its Statute that the primaries are open to All voters are the ordinary means for the selection of applications . This does not happen in any other party will 'in Italy it' in Europe.

leading parties in parliament condemned, I do not vote.

Answer: the PD does not have any candidate who has suffered even a ruling of first instance for serious crimes . Not only that. Veltroni gave words net and strong against the Mafia, Camorra andrangheta and . He crossed the Sicily talking about how to fight the mafia , presenting a bill to make more 'effective seizure of assets for the mafia and support entrepreneurs who rebel against the lace. Su pressure of the society 'civil Lumia, a former chairman of the mafia and point man for the fight against the Mafia, and' leaders of the Democratic Party in the Senate in Sicily. The leaders in the Senate in Calabria and 'the former prefect of Reggio Calabria De Sena, one of the actors in the fight against crime' in that region. There 'then people like D'Ambrosio, a former magristrato pool clean hands, and Casson, a former magistrate who investigated the Venetian Galdi and workers dead Enichem.
Berlusconi does not believe having to talk about Mafia in Sicily and his party candidate for the ennessima time, condemned in various levels of courts and people like Dell'Utri that defines a collusion with the Mafia as Vittorio Mangano "a hero ". Casini has promoted Cuffaro send it to the Senate after he had resigned as President of the Region of Sicily after the sentence for revealing secrets to an investigation for mafia.

are always the same, I do not vote.

Answer: the Democratic Party adopted a rule (with exceptions for leaders) so who has done three terms can not 'be re-nominated. Ben 134 parliamentary were not re-nominated. If the Democratic Party will win 'the elections (and you can' do!) Bring '234 new MPs in parliament. The case in point is 'that of De Mita, in Parliament for 40 years, and' have been banned from Veltroni. The leaders in Campania and 'a very smart woman, Pina Picerno , which has less than 30 years. The PD will double 'the number of women in parliament, electing between 100 and 130.

mess, I do not vote.

Answer: In a democracy, the rules are written together. When the rules are written by one party against the other, you do horrible things like this electoral law. But this does not mean that we should govern together. The most 'effective way to avoid having recourse to majorities' mess 'and' to give a majority to a strong grid. For the first time and 'can give the country a credible and serious leadership supported by a party that does not meet the vetoes of the blackmail and the small parties. In short, the best antidote against the mess and 'give strength to the Democratic Party.

A high abstention would give a clear signal, I do not vote.

Suppose further that the attendance drops dramatically, say 5-10%. What would be the result of all this'? An episode of door to door? One of Ballaro '? Some editors? And then? Then, a quiet government office, 'cause Abstentions HAS NO EFFECT ON' ALLOCATION OF SEATS IN PARLIAMENT .

The experience of other countries shows that growth far more 'strong abstention in Italy that has produced no revolution and no super-candidate, and' found, 'cause the contending parties to end the voters who vote. The solicitation and the dispersion of votes they gave to the U.S. (and the world) George Bush instead of Al Gore.

Instead, EVERY VOTE CAST CAN 'MAKE A DIFFERENCE . In 2006, when two weeks before the election polls assigned a lead of 6-7 points to the center-left Prodi won the election by only 25,000 votes. I repeat. 38milioni 25 thousand votes out of votes cast.

not alone. Since the Senate who wins in a region gets a majority of senators in the region, there are many regions where a few thousand votes could make the difference between Veltroni and Berlusconi deciding who gets more 'seats.

You can 'therefore decide not to have to abstain and let that to decide the composition of the parliament are those who do not care for clean lists of parts of the parliamentary electoral law dell'aberrante, the fight against mafia and crime '. Whoever will win 'the election, regardless of the number of abstentions, will be' perfectly entitled to govern.

Or, you can 'decide not to throw away this opportunity. You can 'choose, despite the limitations, of supporting the efforts of those who ruled the prisoners from the lists of those who want an electoral law that allows voters to choose the deputies, who makes the fight against crime' a central issue of those who want to attack the precariousness' with the minimum wage and incentive-term contracts indeterminate ( video ).

You can 'choose to count and make a difference. The difference between 5 years to 5 years of Berlusconi and Veltroni. You can ', in short, vote PD.
