All-encompassing well known faces

faccioni-pigliatutto.jpg

The MoVimento 5 Stelle {5 Star MoVement} is the only one to have put forward candidates living in their own constituencies and that has not placed a headline grabbing face of a presumed leader at the top of each list to dupe people into voting for them and then to actually elect candidates chosen in accordance with the old system of the Cencelli manual, as has been done by various people like Berlusconi for the Senate and Fini, Vendola and Ingroia for the Lower House. Out of respect for the voters, a candidate should put himself forward in just a single constituency. This is a disgusting thing to do. People are voting for the dominantwell known face of a person who is used to bring about the election of the second and the third person in the list (a way of taking the voters for a ride in accordance with the Porcellum {pig-like law}). It was taken for granted for the so-called old parties, but in no way was it for those trumpeting change like “Rivoluzione Civile” {Civil Revolution} that seems like an association created ad hoc for the elections. The parties forming it, PRC, Verdi, Rifondazione Communist and IDV and de Magistris‘s so-called “arancioni” have placed their own men in the lists, including some left over from the First Republic like Diliberto, covered up with the fig leaf of Ingroia. They have come together to get into Parliament and to get the reimbursement of election expenses that they have never renounced. Objectives that with their tiny percentages would have been a mirage. And they even have the cheek to say that the M5S is only protesting and is not coming up with proposals. Change the music. Scratch the revolution and you’ll discover the little parties.

The effects of MontiPython in stangulating the 'little' economy in Italy is bearing its fruits. Many little companies are closing while MontiPhython has given billions to banks that use this (our) money for non-social speculations.
In this almost religious war against the 'little' economy - that is the framework of Italian culture and structure - MonthiPhyton and his snake-gang have completely forgotten some of the most important political points including environmental matters.
The perspective is not promising as many small towns and communities and also companies, fighting to survive, will place environmental problems in a low priority list. The damages, for years, will be difficult to evaluate.
Please, suggest your candidate, if you have one a solution or a proposal for any environmental problem.
You can send the proposals to us. We will try to make a book with a list of proposals to be presented to the elected MPs after the election (or may be the elections). Proposals should be simple, low-cost and easy to achieve. They should be possible at family or community levels. Proposals should be ideally possible without the intervention of administrations or politicians.
Most of our problems can be actually improved if not solved at very basic level.
This could/should be also a model about management of community problems without the intervention of authorities.
Do we really need so many political and administrative levels?
