Abstract

A good government is responsible for managing the economy, that is, the lives of human beings who depend on the economy. A sentence that seems impeccable. But is it true that this great responsibility falls on the government? To confirm this, we can say that people appreciate classical development based on constant and cautious growth, in accordance with the nature that welcomes us. So, in essence, governments must work to ensure that the economic cycle is classical and adjust the course otherwise if things do not go well. Now, since territories and states are often out of the cycle of constant development, the task of governments is to correct the unbalanced path of the economy. With the singular result that often the short duration of governments in office does not allow them to reap the results of the correction that takes a long time to implement. Ergo, governments that agree to make the necessary reforms may suffer the thankless fate of a premature fall. The prize attributed by citizens to good government therefore risks rewarding another government that succeeds the previous one, which, like the "cuckoo", benefits from the rebalancing results started by the previous one in office. Let us therefore recall both the experience of the United States where the President with executive powers appointed by the citizens holds office for four years. That is, an appropriate and necessary time to implement the policy proposed to the electorate. Let us also recall the Anglo-Saxon experience based on two parties that occupy the right or left of Parliament; a bipartisanship that reproduces the behavior of the electorate that always decides in a bipartisan way, divided between majority and minority. Just to say that the difficulties of democratic regimes that multiply parties in an attempt to better respond to the needs of the electorate, could be mistaken. Because by operating in this way, the bipolar character of the electorate, which is always divided between majority and minority, is separated from the political parties that instead tend to multiply. This does not resolve the issue of the relationship of trust between voters and elected officials but rather complicates the issue of the relationship between voters and elected officials, as documented by the reduced turnout of citizens at electoral sessions. To alleviate the discomfort of political relations, it can be suggested to submit to a popular referendum all initiatives of the ruling party that are significant in terms of security, economy and foreign relations.
