“I am no longer with you”, but “if you leave me it is not valid” (cit.). This seems to be the confused synthetic paradigm of the parable of the Government of the Best, as contradictory in its ontological essence as it is uncertain in its becoming. But after the events of the past week, after the "tear" perpetrated by Giuseppe Conte and his 5 Star Movement, can we say that the relationship of trust that should exist between the Government and Parliament has failed, with the consequent obligation of the former to resign? Let's be clear: it is not that important to untie the formal knot when it is enough to know, as in our case, that government crises pertain "strictu sensu" to the pathology of the parliamentary system but, very often, those same crises have even revealed themselves as a very precious indicator of the transformations taking place, of the passage from a "before" to an "after" in the context of which the "middle ground" hides within itself the keystone useful for interpreting them.
If this should be the case, that is, if it were not so important to untie the formal knot, then Sergio Mattarella's last-minute attempt to try to "parliamentarize" the crisis by leveraging the "desperation" of the office of those of the 2% headed by Matteo Renzi and Giggino Di Maio may well not have the desired effects as the parliamentary discussion has rarely ended with an explicit vote. But even if it were and if, therefore, the Government finds itself, even though resigning, to remain in office until the formation of the new executive solely for the fulfillment of the acts of ordinary administration precisely in the same way as the Government just formed awaiting trust from the part. of the Chambers, what would be the problem? Evidently none for the simple fact that any "problem" would continue to survive in the concerns of those who have more than one difficulty in abandoning their "chair".
Yet, but it would be more correct to say "in fact", even if we do not understand why, the "ballot boxes" continue to loom as the black specter looming over the fate of the parliamentarians on duty, always very unwilling to submit to popular judgment for not being in able to guide their behavior. If the great refusal of the 5 Star Movement to support a motion of confidence in the Draghi Government should have plunged the country into a condition of political uncertainty (all yet to be considered in reality), then, likewise, the decision of Sergio Mattarella to reject to the sender the resignation of the President of the Council of Ministers could lead to the same conclusion of uncertainty, even further than that claimed as "original". But then: in the given situation, is the egg better today or is it better the hen tomorrow? Would early elections be more appropriate to be held no earlier than the end of September, or would it be better to insist on a transitional government led by Draghi?
