In the end, Arcovazzi did not enter Parliament because of the three per cent barrier, but nevertheless he is vehemently claiming that he is the first party on all social media networks, with over ten billion of plus signs, about twenty trillion likes, and five billion shares.

Of course, I’m joking, but just because it will take still a while to know what majority will come out from Italian Parliament to rule the country; however, the good news is that the Parliament won’t be abolished and the Constitution will not be amended in chatroom form. One who, like me, has always been used to be ruled by a majority, cannot but regard the right to be a minority as a precious conquest. So don’t ever take such a right for granted, because in many countries of the world it’s not. And also where it is granted, it’s always granted up to a certain extent.
