Once Upon a Time "Congress." What the PCI, PDS, DS means. There was also one of the heirs of the Christian Democrats in the center, the first popular and then diellini. And these days, or when the vote of the members of the section on conference motions, never missed a nice article about some great newspaper that emphasize the great democratic event praising rites and content. But what has changed and what differs in the Convention, as it is called today, the Democratic Party by those "old" but Congress could arouse so much enthusiasm even among the observers?
from the bottom up: the Democrats were a party made up of more than 4,500 pages with 600,000 members. La Margherita, although you suspect a membership a bit 'bloated, denounced as a final figure as many as 400,000 members at 1,200 clubs around. Today the Democratic Party has about 700,000 members and 5,000 local clubs that, while not quite a few, are still far less than the sum of the two parties at the time of termination. These two
corpaccioni when comparing Congress began a "path" is divided into stages which had as its highlight precisely the vote of its members on points that, by setting out a vision of the problems of Italy and the world, were usually related to the candidate for the national secretariat of the party. Members were asked to vote and thereby the policy is the national secretary.
What happened then? The section of Trastevere in Rome, for example, brings together, in a span of dates set, your conference. On that date, members went into the section where they could even be seen in some cases deliver a folder prepared by the local management team (consisting exclusively of volunteers always) containing documents for the residents and the proposals for problems and issues in the city and / or the area in question or leaflets on this or that national campaign. The Congress therefore also deals with issues that directly affect the lives of citizens / activists / or membership, call them what you want, with discussions that although from a global and comprehensive view of society and always came to immerse themselves in the reality experienced by the surrounding community. It was the so-called "policy of the fontanel." The congress also elected, according to the number of registered its delegates at the higher level, that of federation, the secretary of the Chamber and the local leadership, which, in addition to representing the motion winner, was to be composed in a representative percentage of the votes collected by the other motions. So if 100 members on the motion of Caio collected 30%, that of Dick and Harry 30% to 40% by an executive team of 10 people was the breakdown: Caio 3 representatives, Dick and Harry 3 4. Of course, Harry, it was also the secretary. Simple and straightforward. The exact same mechanism is repeated at higher levels: federal, regional to national, as to both the composition of the management team as to both the election of the secretary. But what matters most is that everything is decided, as regards the collection of the vote in Congress section. They were members, then, to decide the policy by voting on motions. But today things have changed, primarily because point 1 of Article 1 of the Statute of Pd is written that the party is composed of members and voters. And 'the establishment of this last figure that has radically changed the procedures of the old Congress. Because the members no longer have full sovereignty on their own party, that count but do not count. But the second point, always a part, is even more clear it explains: The Democratic Party relies on the participation of all its power and all its voters the key decisions concerning the political direction, the election of the most prominent interior, choice of candidates for the main institutional offices
fact what is actually happening at this time in the clubs is that they are voting members of the motions but does not affect either the life of the section where the Voting is not physically on the life of the upper levels. For what this vote will be only a first count of the votes on the motions / candidates to screen who will participate in the primaries. In reality, this time affecting primarily the candidate Ignazio Marino, who must try to exceed 5% of the vote to gain access to the Oct. 25 race. Moreover, a result that seems to flow Senator surgeon who now travels around 8% to 37% when we circle the convention took place.
October 11, the day of the National Convention piddina, it will count the votes received by all Congress Convention bloodstream and confirmed by the provincial fire those who will actually participate in the primaries. The central moment in the life of the PD is in fact just as national party October 25, the day that you will vote for the candidate to the national secretariat for both candidates to the regional secretariats. The life of the chambers, federations and, therefore, is separated from that of the national party to make way for the right to decide the citizen voter. To elect their own In fact, representatives of the provincial levels, and with them the clubs will play their conference in November and December but after the verdict of the primaries. In short, the organized participation that was such an important part of the life of the "old" parties today is divided into different subjects and moments that break what yesterday looked like a decision that, in turn, starting from the bottom up and was able to decide to influence, at least in part, local and national issues. A method forerunner of the "new" slogan: think global and act local "much like some Democrats. Today it is no longer the case. Tomorrow, who knows.
