POLITICS, A strife of interests masquerading as a contest of principles. The conduct of public affairs for private advantage. Ambrose Bierce

 In June In Italy are due three separate elections: the European, the administrative and the referendum on electoral law. Before the earthquake the government seemed more than willing to create three different days to vote, 7 for the European, 14 for the referendum and 21 for the second round of the administrative. If two different days for administrative vote are inevitable with the current law, the referendum could well be merged with one of the other two appointments, with a significant saving of public money that, especially given the current situation, would be valuable to begin to rebuild Abruzzo devastated by the earthquake.

 If there is nothing in the Italian Parliament that could prevent the Vatican to impose a theocratic regime in Italy, still remains the bulwark of the Constitutional Court. That on April 1 has partially rejected Law 40 on artificial insemination for constitutional illegitimacy on article 14, paragraph 2, which provides an "unique, contemporary implantation, of not more than three embryos, and paragraph 3, which provides that the transfer of embryos has to be done as soon as possible "without prejudice to the health of the woman."

 Laws passed by the majority of center-right on Vatican mandate have opened a new Italian tourism sector: the procreative tourism. Despite the triumphalistic proclamations of the Minister of Health undersecretary that the Law 40 work very well, the reality is that every year thousands of italian couples go abroad to have a baby. Who indeed has reason to fear genetic diseases in Italy cannot use the pre-implantation diagnosis, instead allowed in all European countries and even in Turkey.

 With the crisis raging, unemployed people increasing, work missing, 2007 income tax returns come out and we discover what are the salaries of italian parliamentarians. Let's tell that even the poorest of the bigs, as Fini with 105,633 euros and D'Alema with 171,044 euros, stir up some envy. And almost we cannot understands why they gain so little, since the parliamentarian takes on average 135,000 euros net per year, plus travel expenses if they live more than 100 km from Rome.
