Greetings and thanks
Dear friends, dear friends,
two days after the end of elections for the provincial elections, I think I have the mind sufficiently cold, clear and unconditional altruism thought to share with you my personal reflections on this experience, which I saw on the front line as a candidate in the difficult (and in many respects questionable) College No. 41 of Stratford and Castellamonte.
First of all I want to thank everyone who has given his consent (by 304 times) and in a special way those who helped and supported me along this difficult election campaign, giving me a major contribution and moral support, without which I could never obtain a similar result: the circle of friends "Alto Canavese" de The Left, the group's council "Valperga Viva" (and in particular the parent dott.Gabriele France) and all those who have done this "propaganda" for me.
not want to make lists of people because the risk of forgetting someone, be assured that I will not fail to thank everyone personally.
The list of "Left to the province"
The candidate list for which I have reached, province-wide, a result more than decent: 2.05%. I do not deny that I would have expected a slightly higher, at least 3%, but I think if we ran a symbol of new and unknown to the voters (and, moreover, different from that of Europe because of decisions made locally by the Greens and the Socialist Party), I agree that it was a good claim for a political movement baby and no money, considering the general decline of the center at the local level and phase current policy, in which the left trudging across Italy.
The hard job of the candidate
We must say that I was the youngest candidate of the College: Class 1982. The election campaign and the long "walks" to attachinare (and yes ... there are posters and sticking them we had to pay) have greatly increased my knowledge of local geography. Now I know by heart tutti gli spazi elettorali del collegio 41: se mai vi capitasse quello che è capitato a me, non esitate a chiedermi una consulenza!
Gli innumerevoli volantinaggi ai mercati e gli "imbucamenti" porta a porta a Valperga e Salassa (anche postini...) mi hanno insegnato a rapportarmi con le persone, che purtroppo sono perlopiù diffidenti e deluse ( con qualche ragione). Non nascondo di essermi anche beccato qualche insulto qua e là (fate tutti schifo! siete tutti dei c.....oni! e via dicendo), ma è nella norma. Chi fa politica "dal vivo" ci fa l'abitudine: parafrasando commercianti e bottegai, " l'elettore ha sempre ragione"!
La mia era una candidatura "di servizio": cioè al servizio a political project, that of a United Left and plural, able to meet the challenges of the new millennium. And, of course, the "service" of outgoing President Antonio Saitta, which unfortunately will have to go to the second round.
I would say that it was in every sense!
The end result
304 votes, of which 142 in single Valperga. Not enough to be elected councilor, not just a college in historically difficult for the left, where I was mostly a stranger in the pay of a team as unknown. A first positive experience after all. But I leave to you the final decision.
In any case, I ask you all go to the polls June 21 to support Antonio Saitta and enable it to win the runoff Porchietto with Claudia.
VOTANTONIO!
commitment for the future
For my part I can guarantee that we will do our best not to disappoint the voters who voted for us, continuing to deal with passion and seriousness of the problems of the territory.
Our work does not end with an election campaign, in fact it has just begun.
Marco Varda
