"The European cultures that govern the member states are the environmentalist, liberal, socialist and Christian democratic cultures. In Italy, these cultures are currently absent, due to a form of bipolarity that is not political but rather linked to electoral technicalities. We are the only Western country where there is a majority bonus. There is only one precedent in the country's history: the Acerbo Law. Indeed, Mussolini did not even make use of it, as he received 65 per cent of the vote and the majority bonus was not triggered."
