Italian politics explained to my daughter: How to gain seats of power in Italy

How can we encourage young people not just to the polling station, but also to actively participate in our country’s government? How can we overcome the prejudice that all politicians are corrupt and politics sucks? In these chats with his almost eighteen-year-old daughter, a father who is passionate about politics concisely explains the arcane mechanisms and delicate balances of this art that is so often criticised, yet is so indispensable to man, who by nature is a political animal. A profound but highly amusing exchange discussing also Trump’s America and UK politics, African dictators and international delicate diplomacy games, to make people aware of who truly represents not only the future, but also any nation’s great and real power: young people. Instead of having many young people who want to change country, we should have more young people who want to change their country. (Franz Pagot)
