Congress Democratic Party, Sposetti: "Low Turnout? And 'only it is seen as votificio. The party which had the militancy is gone "

"Look, I went there to vote. To understand the reason for that 41 percent of abstainers should ask those who remained at home. Who knows, maybe many were just sick in the days of consultations ... ". Un'epidemia, then? "So you really want me to comment? Ah, you of Everyday occurrence…”. He pretends reluctance, Ugo Sposetti, but the tough little resistance. Lo storico tesoriere dei Ds, which now supports Andrea Orlando, lets go. “No, in fact it is unlikely that they were all sick the day of the vote. It is more likely that many of those 449mila people even knew he was registered with the Democratic Party ".

She refers to the total number of subscribers made official by the Nazarene. voters, But, were less than 267 thousand. A worrying statistic or a physiological?
Both things, I would say. sure, in the Communist Party it would have been sensational so low turnout. But that party no longer exists and therefore even in the Democratic Party have established certain logic of the worst political.

Do you mean?.
In a situation like the one that lives today Pd, in which the entries are made at the last minute in view of a Congress that is actually a votificio, it is difficult to argue that all those who are holders of a card are aware of being members.

The party turned into a tesserificio, therefore?
The journalistic formulas say little, in reality. To the base, There are some logical 'complex.

It helps us to understand them better?
We start from a premise. The composition of the bodies and the choice of the various delegates is made by virtue of the number of members that each exponent is bringing to the party. But beware: do not count the actual subscribers, then those who actually go to vote. They count those enrolled on paper, virtual ones.

In short, the higher the number of tiles that guarantee, the higher the chance to have my important assignments?
Put simply, is so. The specific weight of the various members, especially at local level, It is based on the number of tiles and not on that of the actual voters. The territorial logics are key to explain these data on low turnout.

And everything now is also part of the operating model of the Democratic Party?
I repeat: the party where the real militancy had more of the tiles is gone. But, at the end of the explanation, let me make an appeal.

You are welcome.
I believe, precisely because of everything, that the value of the candidacy of Orlando lies precisely in this: in having opened to these dynamics to face the opposite.

The result in circles, But, It was not exciting. We talk about the 25% dei voti, against the 68% obtained from Renzi.
Unlike, It was a triumph. In the current situation, it was difficult to do more.

Perhaps he had hoped that the Minister of Justice proves more attractive against the left wing of the Democratic electorate, one next to the splinter of MDP?
I repeat. It was a triumph. And you will see that the primaries there will be some nice surprises. The end result is not obvious.
