The fuck is going on over there Italy? I know the USA's a dumpster fire but are you guys like ... trying to be the European equivalent of Mississippi?

We have a massively growing right wing due to people finding little answers from the center-right. Left wing is a minority, and the only time a major center-left party went to power it was a split power with a right wing party that months later voluntarily sabotaged its own position of power just so the center-left party was not in power anymore. We went into technical government, during COVID.

What the people want to hear is increased wages, lower gas prices and less taxes. Yet, they vote "the queen of the traditional family" (almost actual quote) and now we have a prime minister that has cut welfare for the unemployed and reverting rights. But hey, they want to implement minimum wage I guess.

Still, you can't get away with cutting welfare like that. We have places like Naples almost rioting.

Connationals, I beg you, go vote. Don't let this happen so often...

They have the same numbers than last election, they won thanks to the low turnout. They are still the minority in Italy.

The majority just don't care, that's even worse

I've said this for my country and I'll say it again, if you don't vote, you are effectively voting the winning party. It's your right, but don't you fucking dare complain later .

(not you you, them).
