It's a weird combination of Meloni being the only conservative leader with any kind of charisma (rip Tajani) and isn't a complete idiot (Rip Salvini) and an opposition that is currently more busy stabbing each other than actually making any kind of united front on policies... also the left leadership is really the most empty void of charisma that you can imagine. It's not a great government but there is basically no alternative right now so it will probably stick till the end (unless Salvini does something stupid again) which is quite rare for Italy.

[@SirAlric82]

The left doesn't have policies. Their only plan is to tax the hell out of the middle class (the rich have their ways to avoid paying too much taxes, or to avoid paying taxes altogether) to pay for welfare handouts to give to the poor in exchange for their votes.

TLDR of the TLDR Every single party except Meloni's has been in power in a way or another before 2022, especially with Mario Draghi's broad government. This meant that most people with anti-establishment positions, who are prone to change for who they vote any time the party in power fails to deliver it's promises, flew toward Brothers of Italy. The Democratic Party on the other hand has by far the most loyal electorate throughout the Italian political landscape, which ensures that for the time being they have a stable pool of voters between the 17 and the 20%. The PD is also the heir of both the Christian Democrats and the Communist party mentioned at the beginning of the video. Therefore if Italy is to embrace a "de facto" 2 party system it all depends on whether Giorgia Meloni will manage to secure and stabilise her electorate or, just like Salvini's lega, it will begin to crumble the moment her voters see her taking back her word on her electoral promises paving the way to new potential "anti-establishment" parties in the future

To me it's weird to see technocrats banned, because to me at least they made decisions that regular politicians were unwilling to make because they would lose in popularity. It seems more like a power grab, it's the politicians that are unworthy to be in power. Although you could also say, who's going to check the technocrats who also, don't be naive, have their motives. But the outcome generally lies closer to what is truly needed for the country not groups or individuals.

[@casteddu6740]

@@HypaxBE technocrats have proven to be very unpopular, and are often perceived by the public are pursuing foreign interests rather than those of the country they govern. Just look at the elections after Draghi's government fell apart. The parties that were part of it, especially those claiming to be anti-establishment, collapsed Carlo Calenda's electoral list "3rd pole", which promised to carry on Draghi's policies, ended up as 4th. Giorgia Meloni got most of her votes mostly from people who didn't care what she actually promised but merely saw that Brothers of Italy was the only relevant party who did not join Draghi's broad coalition. The Meloni executive is essentially the result of an anti-technocrat vote, so the abolition of such a figure makes sense

[@SirAlric82]

In Italy we had a full technocratic government led by Mario Monti in 2012 who was committed to do unpopular things politicians were unwilling to do. In the end all they did was raise taxes and make people poorer and so one year later they were sent home and nobody missed them. This idea that technocrat is inherently better than politician is BS. In a democracy the government is supposed to represent the will of the people and answer to the voters so an unelected unaccountable bureaucrat is the farthest thing possible from democracy.

[@HypaxBE]

@@SirAlric82 I get that it's not fun to suddenly pay more taxes and have less disposable income. But what would politicians do? Keep on spending, adding debt endlessly to keep their voter base happy and stay in power? And especially dumping those costs, interests on future governments and generations of people. To me that also is not the solution. I'd love to see some solution to keep politicians and parties accountable for their decisions and results, but I don't see how.

[@marcosa2000]

​@@HypaxBE I think it depends on whether the taxes are raised on the rich or the lower classes. If they are raised on the rich, good. If they are raised on the lower classes, bad

[@HypaxBE]

@@marcosa2000 I agree that overall it should be considered fair. But again with political parties they rather serve their base which may be the poor (socialist) or the rich (liberal). Overall I would assume that a technocrat has less of this bias. But they also have to work with constraints, like the rich, if taxed tend to move to other countries and then everyone loses. For this specific constraint I'd look at the European level because even for the rich leaving a continent is a bigger barrier than a country unfortunately.

In the last five years we've had three governments, which is not bad in Italian politics, and likely this government will complete its term. But don't get too excited. Italy's parties are flimsy things. Meloni's party is powerful right now, but it could collapse at any moment; the seeds are there: scandals, incompetent officials, and suspicion towards the other members of the government (who have their own agenda). The center-left Democratic Party has shown several times that it's an unstable entity with an uncertain future. Schlein has at least given it a strong center-left ideological identity, but has trouble finding allies, both with the center (riddled with infighting) and with the left (where the 5 stars are on an endless downward spirals). In short, things look stable now, but give it a couple year and we might see Forza Italia or the Left-Greens (parties on the rise) winning the election.

What you must understand about Italy is that it has, since 1948, had proportional representation. What happened for the next 40 years was the CD were in government all the time. Governments didn’t ‘fall’ they were just ‘reshuffled’. Which is why there was so much corruption and stasis. As you correctly point out, the end of the Cold War and the demise of Andreotti and the rise of Berlusconi, ensured a new phase in politics and more change and governments. Prior to that, it is arguable that Italy had 1 government between 1948 - 1994

Thanks for this video. My issue is use of the English word “government.” The “government” did not fall. It changed (via elections or otherwise) its “parliamentary coalition.” This TLDR video indeed uses the English words “government” and “coalition” interchangeably. I suspect the root cause of this issue is someone in Italy has translated (many years ago) the Italian word “governo” into the English word “government.” These two words do NOT have the same meaning. Please continue to use the word “coalition” or “parliamentary coalition” in future videos. Grazie. 🙏🏻

[@meMetallo]

There is one important key factor in this analysis. Since Berlusconi there has been a de facto shifting of powers from parliament to governament, that is being particularly abused by Meloni's coalition that in addition has a the actual majority in parliament for the first time since Berlusconi that also allows an unprecedented propaga through State television

Political stability in Italy? We have had 68 governments in 78 years, and now we want to start being stable? Crazy things.

[@gaetanomignano7368]

Well the second longest government in our history was Berlusconi’s. Historically right wing governments last longer because they face less ethical issues and tend to stick together even if they disagree because as long as they have the power they’ll agree on everything. An example is the Ius scholae (giving citizenship to boys and girls who complete high school) that was proposed by a center/left party and one of the parties in the government said that they agreed, but in the end they voted against it because Meloni and the other one said so. So that’s it.. the right wing formula: as long as we have the power we don’t care about our values. On the other side I wish the left wing parties agreed more on stuff and got together to form a progressive left wing government in Italy because we so desperately need it

[@lucaomeri8730]

@@_Historia_Magistra_Vitae Mate, Meloni in a french interview praised Mussolini, she praised Giorgio Almirante (the secretary of a journal called "the defence of race", and he wrote that the racial laws weren't strict enough) and wanted to give his name to a street , the current minister of culture is a guy ho was part of "meridiano zero", a new fascist organization, The head of the senate is Ignazio la Russa, a guy known for his collection of statues of Mussolini's head who constantly praised him. You can't deny that a lot of the members of this governament have deep connections with fascism.

[@simonebaruzzi156]

i have to say a couple of things 1st what you call instability is a virtue , not a weakness ; it means that there is a balance in the country that avoid that any party take too much power and avoid drastical changes , a too stable govern becomes hard to kick out , and we have seen one century ago the consequeces of it 2nd you see stability because one party after national election have good results in the Europeans aand is strong in polls ? look at the 2 previous Europeans elections : Renzi's PD almost got 40% , and Salvini's Lega got 37 % , few years after that they got halved . 3rd in the right there is constant fight for leadership , and i would not bet bet that Meloni would be the right leader in next electoral round in the last elections we had 3 different results and 3 different leaders came out . And than there is my personal opinion about that constitutional change : it gives too much power to the winners , and basically any majority that comes out could change constitution , and give this power to a neofascist party is not such a good idea , we have already seen repressive laws against protests , and laws for silencing opposition in public run televisions , and othe ideological laws that have no sense at all if not seen in ideological way . i am for a pure proportional without any govern bonus seat for the winners and the govern , a technical govern is always the most equilibrate and less ideologized , this country have been broken by divisions and polarization , an ideological govern is the most harmful thing that could happen to this country.

[@chopin4525]

Very good points. I made similar remarks pointing out corruption and referendum results.

[@SirAlric82]

A leftist complaining that the right is too ideological has to be one of the most comical statements ever. Also, a technical government is the most equilibrate and less ideologized only because it couldn't care less about the will of the people, as it only exists to serve the interests of the wealthy elites which only have one goal: make more money.

[@Drakexis6637]

Instabily Is a weakness because you can't make good reforms, only a long lasting government can make it. If we want to resolve our chronic high unemployment rate (at least in the range 16-30) and our low salaries, we need strong (and at least at the beginning) unpopular reforms.

[@StopThatUselessNoise]

Instability is a weakness. Italy is essentially in a limbo because of this corrupt and outdated system. It's not 1946 anymore, we shouldn't worry about some fascist boogeyman that nutjobs from the PD fantasise so much about.

[@jacques.cousteau]

To bring examples from 100 years ago to infer on future possible outcomes is tone-deaf if not outright nuts... governments are not born in a vacuum and it is self-evident that the world of today is radically different from our great-grandfathers'. That said, stability today IS a virtue because we heavily rely on our financial credibility and economic stability to pay off our debts and ask for loans. It goes without saying that having a clear path for a 5-year governance give enough hints to the financial insitutions to accept and adapt to the circumstances and allow politics to apply at least medium-term policies without watching their backs all the time, e.g. if we have the elections in 6 months the government will hardly implement unpopular policies. And honestly, we have had pure proportional for 47 years and big coalitions ruling with a wafer-thin majority for the most part of the last 40 years and we can see the results...

[@carmineingaldi47]

the political stability of this legistlation has been achieved achieved because there is a right-wing coalition that has been able to stick together despite huge internal differences and a left-wing coalition impossible to form despite a huge interal common ground kudos for the really brief resume of an insanely complex history such as the Italian politics after WW2

Italy has had one of the best primary balance every year in the last 30 years​ up to covid. The resulting deficits were always due to the huge interests on debt and not to spending. The recent 7% deficit has been an exception and caused an improvement in the economy. In fact the debt has not grown with respect to the gdp. The 3% rule comes out of nowhere, there is no calculation leading to that number.
