Let the winner govern!

In spite of the victory of the Unione in the Upper House (Senato) and the Lower House (Camera), the news programmes are still buzzing with dialectical inventions about defeats or really about the defeat.
If I am permitted, I would like to invite the newspapers and the TV channels to have a greater sense of reality. Let it be clear that I am not referring to those of the former President of the Council that are simply propaganda channels and not true information channels.
Let the journalists now discuss the real problems of the country. The previous legislature has left us with so many problems that we have too many to choose from.
Last night I watched the programme Ballarò. I heard arguments put forward asking “out of a sense of responsibility” for a coalition of the representatives of those who have torn to shreds the Constitution and the laws of Parliament.
By the one who called the centre left voters “coglioni”.
It gave me an allergic reaction.

Here is a very modest piece of advice to my colleagues in the Unione: If you are invited to take part in a programme to talk about the null proposition of the current opposition, don’t accept.
When you do appear on TV talk about data, numbers, statistics related to what the Unione will do for Italian citizens.
In answer to the umpteenth provocation about the “grand coalition”, my opinion is that the bipolar system obliges the winning coalition to govern to give the country the alternative determined by voting.
In other words, let the winner govern.
