Let's face it: no one expected a different result from the municipal vote in Rome, Milan, Turin and, more generally, from the outcome of the October local elections, which allowed the good Enrico Letta to gloat and speak of a "triumphant victory". It was already clear in the first round, in Milan with the immediate confirmation of Sala and in Rome with the "all together" votes cashed by a centre-right unable to find credible candidates and the fragmented votes of the Dream Team Gualtieri-Calenda-Raggi: 30.1% against 65 and more for all those parties not exactly close to Berlusca and his friends. True, we were in the capital, but not even Michetti believed in miracles.

However, there are some important points to reflect on. First of all, the turnout has never been so low, with the unenviable record of the second round standing at 43.9%. This was the lowest turnout in history, with one voter in two deciding to abstain. And we didn't even need the Green-Pass! Then we complain that things don't work.

Another prickly consideration is certainly the aforementioned inability of the centre-right to identify credible, or at least well-known, figures in good time and to find a unity of substance, and not just of facade. On paper today Berlusconi, Meloni and Salvini (mentioned strictly in alphabetical order) would bring home a full result on the strength of 47/49 per cent of the latest polls, but in reality friction between the League and FDI is increasingly frequent. Where there are no frictions, the result is often guaranteed, as in the only Region to be voted on, Calabria: here the centre-right has taken 54.5% and doubled the 'doubled' competition, reaching 14 administered Regions.

Last but not least, we have witnessed the total débâcle of the M5S, which in one fell swoop loses (badly) Rome and Turin, the jewels in the crown of the previous electoral rotation, then interpreted by Di Maio & C., together with the first important victory in the ducal city of Parma, the starting point for a revolution whose effects no one has seen, let alone the benefits. The electoral promises never kept by the Grillo Boys (TAV, TAP, Ilva, Atlantia, the two-term rule, the F35, the votes of confidence and the very electronic Whirlpool) have turned into a haemorrhage of votes that make the party led today by former Prime Minister Conte the fourth national political force, with the real possibility of being engulfed, at the next general election, by a PD with a team typically endowed with an entirely different pedigree. And this would translate into the return of a 1996-style bipolarity, with a jump back in time of about thirty years!

Evidently, the more than 20 billion euro disbursed through the citizenship income is of little importance for obtaining votes. The operation, in its entirety with the Anpal job centres, Navigator and relative outplacement, has been, even according to the president of Confindustria Bonomi, a failure: 423 hires against an allocation of over 516 million euros, excluding the RdC! The only one who is still pleased about it is Prof. Mimmo Parisi, called to give life to the cultural revolution of the penta-star in the policies of employment, or unemployment.

But we are in Italy and, very often, whoever shoots the biggest wins, see the friend Jordan played by Di Caprio in Scorsese's film. He wins... in the short term. Is the problem in the name?
