Election results in the malaise of European citizens

The results of the legislative elections in Spain have not put an end to the two-party only in the greatest nation on the Iberian Peninsula, but stressed a given, in general, much more important from the political point of view, which must be extended to all of Europe. The substantial decline of the traditional parties, which refer to a historical tradition, is clear for reasons that are poorly understood: the inability to govern so as to spread the increased ways of being and economic stability for families and businesses, which often is combined with a high degree of corruption. This pattern was seen in all major European countries, even in the UK, where the bipolar system has always been a normal condition of the political system. The emergence of movements against the system, able to provide an alternative more or less credible, however, went hand in hand with one abstention growing, caused by the disgust of apolitical in those voters now totally disheartened policy proposals, that is, They do not identify with any actor that uses passive electorate. So we have three categories of voters: those that cater to the traditional parties, those who opt for the protest movements or alternative and, finally, those who do not exercise their right to vote. It is a picture that threatens the status quo of the traditional parties, usually the government, or at least, who practice an opposition rooted in the system, which will translate into the appointments of government agencies and leading companies, in short, all the 'scaffolding system of national power. This account is already in itself sufficient to understand the anxiety with which in traditional parties is spent on studying effective countermeasures to combat the current trend growing constituency, through the study and the development of electoral systems increasingly geared to deliver power, a stable, a single party, also expression of a minority of the whole electorate. The first place to start is represented by the obstinate decision not to count the abstainers or those who desert the polling stations, as an effective part of the electorate, which actually are, but to count only the voters in order to establish the election results . One who does not want to get across is that the failure to exercise the vote should not be interpreted as a simple lack of interest in public affairs or a sterile protest, but rather, a failure to provide election, which allows voters to cast a vote convinced. Subject to a percentage of the physiological non-participating in the vote, which can be quantified as a percentage of 10% of those entitled to vote, the rest of abstentions should weigh on the seats to be distributed eroding the number of those elected on the basis of actual voters. This principle may cause a greater commitment of the entire political class to bring voters to vote and, therefore, create a first assumption on the democratic division of power. It is clear that the exercise of the active electorate to turn into some kind of recognition or sanction if not exercised, the political programs presented, the action of the government and opposition and the competence of individual politicians. But this would be only the first step, even if of a certain size, because one thing is to calculate those elected on 60% of voters and another is to calculate it on 80%. The direct consequence should be a Parliament with more or less seats occupied, and then with the relative locus to undertake decisions well beyond the normal administration. Would it take then, to reconcile with the representative governance, two aspects that were used in a manner opposed to justify electoral systems able to hand over power to a minority. Clauses barrier can avoid the excessive fragmentation of the political system, but the thresholds are too high reduce the necessary representativeness. Promote governance with a majority prize for a list rather than an aggregate of parties, is potentially endanger an exercise of power that can be of a minority and therefore undemocratic and that it may also create drift towards oligarchy and the 'authoritarianism. It is no coincidence that some formations emerging Europe have demanded the restoration of proportional systems, in order to avoid compression of the forms of representation, which causes the concentration of the three powers in a single formation. Excessive concern for governance can actually post hide authoritarian tendencies hidden in the form of good principles, but which lend themselves to ambiguous interpretations. The election results of European countries express a malaise that can not be stifled by laws against freedom in the name of stability; if you follow this path will be further evidence of bad faith that Europe uses these behaviors and becomes increasingly distant from the feelings of the citizens.
