Those of the Rosatellum. Now for the left everything is "unacceptable"
Elly Schlein and other leftists criticize any proposed electoral reforms while staunchly defending the current electoral law known as Rosatellum, which they believe ensures no political victory.
The article discusses the strong opposition from left-wing politicians in Italy, particularly Elly Schlein, toward any changes to the current electoral system known as Rosatellum. The left sees the electoral law as a protection against political dominance, yet, ironically, it also contributed to the rise of Giorgia Meloni's government. The persistent slogan of the left appears to be 'unacceptable,' as they reject any proposal to reform the electoral system or change the form of government, labeling such discussions as unconstitutional and detrimental to democratic principles.
The left maintains a defensive stance, declaring that any suggestion of modifying the Rosatellum, such as introducing a direct election of the head of government or adopting different electoral systems like a simple majority, is beyond consideration. There's a notable contradiction in their position, as they benefit from the very system they aim to preserve, suggesting a certain political masochism. Their blanket rejection of reforms puts them in a passive role in the political arena, focusing only on negation rather than constructive engagement.
This situation indicates a troubling state within Italian politics where constructive dialogue and adaptability to the electorate's needs are being stifled by rigid partisan politics. As the left continues to cling to Rosatellum, it risks alienating itself from voters who may be looking for more responsive governance and clearer electoral outcomes.
