All together passionately on the victor's chariot or, at least, of the presumed such. This is the case with every electoral campaign and the current one is no exception. Elections are always the apotheosis of opportunism and transformism and, since the current polls show the winner Silvio Berlusconi everyone jostles to get on his chariot, rightly renamed with contempt as Noah's ark by Matteo Salvini, who is Berlusconi's ally, uncomfortable but ally.
The collection is as vast as it is picturesque and go to him animal rights activists by Michela Brambilla ai veterans of Ap led by Maurizio Lupi, come on liberals by Stefano De Luca ai laymen of Idea of Quagliarello (but who does not remember his obscurantist intervention in the Senate on the Englaro case?), by the splitters of Civic choice who followed Enrico Zanetti to the former Northern Leaguers by Flavio Tosi, come on Sicilians of Cantiere Popolare di Saverio Romano to Italy Directorate of Raffaele Fitto, from the "responsible" autonomists of Renzo Tondo in Friuli, to the Sardinian reformers of Pierpaolo Vargiu, from "Together for Molise" by Michele Iorio to the former UDC of Lorenzo Cesa, from the Christian Revolution of Gianfranco Rotondi to the resurgent udeur of the timeless Clemente Mastella, from the Pensioners to the People of VAT numbers, from the Renaissance of Rude and Tremonti to Energie per l'Italia by Stefano Parisi while the future of Verdi's wing remains uncertain.
Of course this one chariot race was born from fervent ideal motives (!). Try to tell the 22 midgets that theirs is just a blatant hunger for armchairs and you could get insulted. But the spell will end soon, because the small parties claim single-member constituencies sure but, if he were to satisfy them all, it would be Berlusconi who would be left without prizes and cotillons for his loyalists. Therefore, in the end many will be left with a handful of flies in hand, but you want to put the thrill of trying to get on the bandwagon?
