Politica riformatrice, forme di governo, sistemi elettorali

Abstract

A correct approach to the problem of constitutional reform should avoid excessive dramatization of the same. In other words: from settings that elevate «governability» to an absolute value, representing the current difficulties, which are nothing new today, as the prelude to a catastrophic final solution. In this essay we intend to counter the thesis of those who claim that we are facing a crisis of the parliamentary form of government, to which the emergence of a personalized command function would be an alternative. In reality, what is establishing itself in our constitutional reality is an increasingly high valorization of the charismatic function which is to a large extent the effect of the disappearance of a certain type of the political class.
