"Interviewer: Is Forza Italia no longer able to connect with its supporters? Matteoli: People didn’t make a different choice; they simply didn’t turn out to vote. Yes, we haven’t been able to connect with our supporters as we once did. Because there are MPs who just sit in Parliament, who have lost touch with the people, lulled into complacency by our leader’s ability to appear on TV: we must get back to doing politics, to engaging with the grassroots. FI must return to being the party of moderates that allies itself with the right and wins elections, which is what President Berlusconi has always wanted."
