La democrazia italiana è lunatica come un adolescente implume, come una ballerina di flamenco. Da qui la sua cifra distintiva: gli sbalzi d'umore, l'incoerenza, le scelte capricciose. E un'onda emotiva perennemente inquieta, che sommerge la ragione. I nostri governanti - non tutti, si capisce - non conoscono il passato, non hanno abbastanza fantasia per proiettarsi nel futuro. Sicché girano in tondo, scambiandosi ruoli e competenze come durante una quadriglia, il vecchio ballo popolare.
