The alignments of the parties
The positions of the parties are not unique. The official nature often does not correspond to the reality and sensitivities of one’s own group and one’s constituents / militants. But let’s see in detail.
5 star movement. The political group that, in fact, wanted this law in the name of “anti-caste” and of a populist anti-parliamentarianism never completely asleep is obviously for the Yes. But even among the pentastellati there are those who say no. The case of the deputy is exemplary Elisa Siragusa who said: “Reducing parliamentary representation to save one coffee a year makes no sense. The relationship is not clear in terms of efficiency. To improve efficiency, the Chamber’s operating regulations must first be reviewed ”. Other lighter grillini also expressed doubts and perplexities.
P.S. The leader Nicola Zingaretti officially lined up the party for the Yes. But he had to get by showing many embarrassing silences due to the numerous discontent from the periphery and the loud and clear No of exponents such as Gianni Cuperlo or Matteo Orfini. In addition, too many silences and the lack of reform of the electoral law put the management group dem in obvious difficulties.
League. The leader of the Northern League, Matteo Salvini, said that the Northern League is lined up for the Yes, but, behind the scenes, everyone knows that the reform is difficult to digest for a party that makes its roots in the territory one of its strengths.
Brothers from Italy. A decided yes that does not seem to doubt. Giorgia Meloni, however, must, although to an infinitely lesser extent than the other parties, with the perplexities of the periphery.
Italy Long Live. The Renzi group leaves the freedom to vote, even if, after all, it is for No.
Go Italy. Match party from the beginning. The ‘revolt’ against Yep (led by many prominent exponents) was certified by the doubts expressed without hesitation by himself Silvio Berlusconi who made it clear that a victory for MPs would not improve the overall picture. Rather.
Others. Emma Bonino and + Europa para el no, as well as (with the exception of Bersani) the left of the left as article 1 and the communist re-founding, as well as the socialists of Riccardo Nencini
