I would like to communicate my satisfaction paraprofessionals to read the article by Alexander Stille released on R2 Republic of September 19. To explore the phenomenon of many American voters who sacrifice their vote against their own interest, that is to say, although the data show that in every democratic government run by the wage rise and the economy grows, you end up voting Republican. That 's what happens in Italy, right?
Stille explains all this with the phenomenon of ' identification. I quote: "The television gives the impression or the illusion that the voter can know the candidates, to enter into intimacy with them," . Of course, from this point of view the chances for a candidate to be elected depends on its ability to be show-man and psicomante and closer to his audience. Stille known fact that the only Democratic candidates who won in the last 40 years were Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton, to whom he writes: ".. from his prestigious degree, can speak the language of a pig farmer 's Iowa or a mechanic, as well as to move at ease among the movie stars or Nobel Prizes. "
This is a gift that our left-wing politicians do not have, given the difficulties they encounter in their message groped to find their way out of the cliff in big words in impeccable newspeak / R / dull. But I do say to Stille:
The same happened in Italy. The old policy was guided by the parties and was very paternalistic. The people accepted the fact that politicians should be more educated and that is expressed differently from ordinary people. (In the first parliament after the Second World War there was a higher percentage of graduates to date, despite much lower levels of literacy). Part of the success of Berlusconi and Umberto Bossi has a common denominator, the use of the language of ordinary people, even vulgar, obscene, that horrifies the educated elite but creates identification in many voters. The two have brought to parliament people with few qualifications, and therefore many without even a degree. What matters are not the policies we pursue, but the sense of identification.
Stille Maybe not find my argument (that set of theories in Please ) too outlandish.
