Bernalda, 17 April 2008
The Supervisory Committee for Participatory Democracy Committee "Active Citizens" of Metaponto Bernalda and takes note of the scale of the municipal election results, provincial, regional and national elections 13 and 14 April 2008.
When leaving the analytic task to the political forces on the dynamics of flow and election results, asks some questions about the disclosure of the results came out at the polls, considering the fundamental behavior of the transparency and communication in participatory democracy.
A first question was already posed by the undersigned Regulatory Commission about the use of polls in election campaign, not provided as a snapshot of a given time, but as an instrument of social conditioning adotatto by the media and parties.
These polls, that these elections were very different from the results of the polls, had, from the beginning of the "controversy" election, our disapproval and our dissent: “survey which had never anticipated the demise of the Left?”.
The suspicion arises that does not want to talk about a possible "induced disappearance" of the Left and political representatives now out of Parliament.
Another issue is the allocation of percentages of voting results, elaborate on those "scored" rather than on the total eligible, in a democracy as it should be correct.
Again, it is suspected that Who is part of the quorum of the public funding to political parties, in fact also want to earn shares of funding for the number of blank ballots, void and of abstainers.
Do not you think this could also be a scam?
Since you predict times of sacrifice, respect for the voters who abstained, who canceled the cards or have delivered in white (more than ten million and a half for the room and just over ten million for the Senate), such funding (a hundred million / year) are not distributed among the parties that have a quorum, but for the rehabilitation of the state coffers.
It would be better that they were given to citizens who do not make it more, economically, to get to the end of the month.
On the other hand, over the next three years, parties will also receive money from elections 2006 (other 300 million)!
