Election day

What are the elections like in your country? And the electoral campaigns?

Talking about elections and electoral campaigns in my country make me despondent and pensive, dear friends. Anyway I need to make a small effort to end this lesson telling you that's incredible how italians always laments about politics and politicians, but when it's time to express a change with the vote, the majority of them choice the old system and the old politicians (or one emergent shouting man riding the global discontent as Beppe Grillo) and nothing changes. It's really true the proverb "People get the governments they deserve".

gabnash's correction is good EXCEPT he missed:

Capitalize Italians. Otherwise, this correction would be the same. Good work!

Capitalize Italians. Questo non lo capisco; forse significa che Italiani va maiuscolo. Grazie :)

Sono d'accordo con te.

Purtroppo Freelown, spesso mi sono trovato a dover riscontrare con sgomento quanto Silvio Berlusconi abbia ben rappresentato gli Italioti che lo hanno votato. Incarnando una sorta di caricatura grottesca dei suoi sostenitori che sono la metà di noi, e d'altronde non potrebbe essere diversamente: si vota chi ci somiglia. Eppure, se vai a chiedere, nessuno lo ha votato, sai? Dalle mie parti i berlusconiani si direbbero scomparsi e verrebbe allora da sperare si siano dissolti nella vergogna. E dunque in un domani degno. Ciao.

Our countries are pretty much alike in many ways, politics is one of them. You know our prime minister Erdoğan and Berlusconi are great buddies:) In spite of financial crisis and political disturbance our citizens continue to vote for his party.

Sembrano fatti con lo stesso stampo sebbene il vostro primo ministro sia venuto infinitamente meglio del berlusca; non so molto di lui ma almeno è presentabile e lo puoi mandare in giro a rappresentarti senza doverti ogni volta sotterrare. Il nostro lo mandi a parlare con un capo di stato femmina che di notte non faccia la cubista e quando torna dice in televisione che era una "culona inchiavabile". Vuoi mettere?!

Se non ci credi, guarda:

"Rieccolo" sfoggiare il suo garbo con il Ministro Iervolino:

Che te ne pare? :)

Non facciamo confronti: il nostro caro berlusca è supremo, converrai :) Si può arrivare fin lì, non oltre. Quanto alla sua amicizia con Erdogan...evidentemente non solo si votano le persone che ci somigliano, come dicevo, ma anche le si frequentano venendo a costituire combriccole omogenee e coese, anche tra i Signori del Potere.
