The Right to Vote

Peers,
this week, for the second time, we (me, Martina and Allyson from the States) spent our Skype exchange talking about politics and politicians since in Italy we’re all living a crucial event: the election process is coming to an end (luckily I venture to say!)… we will know who will be the man by Monday! Considering that many people say they won’t vote because they don’t trust candidates’ good faith, our debate focused on the great importance of the right to vote because of the need we all have of being represented. I do believe in this powerful choice especially because in the past this right has been limited to a very small number of people. Without doubt I’m going to vote the next weekend even if I perfectly know that we, as voters, have to face a very complicated electoral system: too many candidates means an extreme confusion.
