Italian Referendum Vote

      Well, our friends in Italy will have a chance to fix a lingering problem: too much dead wood collecting salaries in Roma.  The Parliament is one of the most bloated political bodies in the world.  Almost 960 sitting members discuss laws and political pursuits.  Finally, the new conservative party passed a law that gives the voters a chance to make a change in amount of legislators.  Each of these slugs draws a salary north of 250,000 euros a year.  Plus a paid staff of at least 5 salaried individuals.  This adds another 300000 euros.   And on and on and on it goes.  So the vote is on a single issue decrease the number of slugs or not.  October 21-22 is the date.   Mail in ballots have been sent out to citizens living abroad through the consulates and embassies around the world.   Doesn't seem to be any problems in Italy.  What;s the problem alleged in the USA?  A "fake" problem created by the scum in the White House?  That's it: they created the fake problem to cast doubt on any mail in balloting around the country.
       In Italy, the results will show that locals have had enough.  Why can't Parliament get anything done: too many opinions not enough leaders.   The American Congress set limits upon the number of representatives.  It has been frozen for decades.  Can you imagine what Washington would look like if congress was allowed to grow with population?  We'd have hundreds more of our own slugs sucking on the meager taxpayer provided funds.  Hmmm.  Maybe we can learn from Italy?  Why not?  They conquered Covid while we are still mired in a pandemic that adds 40000 new cases A DAY.   Why?
No leadership.
