The end is near, luckily!

Easter holidays have only just finished. We all hoped chocolate and candies would have sweetened the discussions, but it has not been so. Again boring interviews, unfailing debates, indispensable cuts and thrusts between the leaders and acid attacks! For a moment, when I was unwrapping my Easter egg, I thought to find a little statue of Berlusconi or Veltroni. They are everywhere! Why not putting one of their smiling pictures also in Easter eggs as a surely pleasant gift for all the voters?!

It’s not easy to follow how things are going on at this point. Politicians repeatedly change opinions, criticize each others, move from an idea to another or even from a party to another. Italians have understood that more or less they all say and claim for the same things, just by using different expressions and slogans. But I think we are all aware that nothing is going to change really, and Italian politics is not going to make any sort of improvement. They all have interesting ideas on how Italy could change or even enough purposes, that at this point there are a very few people who still believe in them.

I found so ridiculous the videoclips of Pdl and Pd. If instead of trying to look like the Americans, they would concentrate themselves in our own situation it would be much better! We use ways of expression and communication closer to the Americans, like videos, songs and also interviews to celebrities who support politicians and parties, as if you were a fan of an actor you will vote for the candidate he supports. They don’t know anyhow to convince us!

In America things are not going in a different way. Between Obama and Hillary, silently McCain seems to be rising from his position. In these last days some papers are describing the senator Clinton as a liar, referring to some of her sentences during one of her trip to Bosnia. But what I found really embarassing was some accusations moved to her saying in one of her political spot Obama face seems to be darker than it really is. People don't really know what to do! If things are at this point now, I don't want really know what will happen till November!

Luckily here in Italy parties’ platforms are clear (do really?), we know everything about the candidates. Let’s wait for the election days.
Hope this will end soon!
