I have voted in elections academic and I personally thank all those who have done so, take off the mask of a member of a student group and I forget my preference: I thank all those who voted regardless of their choice.
May 13, for most students was the end of the ordeal after a month of leafleting and gazebos carpet in Largo Gemelli, Gnome Passage, St Agnes and even Morozzo della Rocca! Only for 16.37% of the students was election day. No more elections you have to deal with reality and evaluate what really happened. One truth stands out in those data, almost no one goes to the polls. I brought all my friends, I've talked to all my mates of course (those who attend, of course) and so we all did. We in the Democratic Formica along with all other members of the most diverse student groups have convinced our friends to follow the polls with the badge, "it only takes 2 minutes.
But the others? What happened to all those students that none of us (the cute and noisy caravan of groups) know? For them, nothing happened. So many words and lots of talk about democracy is broken to pieces in front of a paltry 16.37% of turnout. I read this and I wonder what is served as a member of a group I look in the mirror and ask my reflection for what I have committed in recent months? ". I ask myself and I ask you, what these elections are served? Today I would like to speak to all those students with whom I could not talk during the campaign and I ask him why they did not come out to vote.
How many times have we asked ourselves what is it that course in our curriculum? How many times have we wondered why all the calls pile up examination at the end of year? How many times do we just complain about anything? Watching the election results I conclude that I share concerns and advice to our università solo con il …. % degli studenti. Tutti gli altri la trovano perfetta, devo concludere questo. Se non fosse così sarebbero venuti a votare, avrebbero preso i nostri volantini e li avrebbero commentati, avrebbero parlato con noi e con i membri degli altri gruppi dicendoci cosa pensavano.
Forse ognuno di loro aveva un valido motivo per non votare: un impegno imprescindibile, un esame il giorno dopo, una lezione a cui si è in ritardo, una settimana pesante che ha portato via la voglia di fare qualsiasi cosa… si, forse ognuno ha la sua motivazione. Forse esagero io, io che ho visto le persone dei gruppi lavorare in questi mesi cercando di dare il loro contributo (criticabile nei risultati ma non nei mezzi) alla our university, to give importance to academic elections, maybe I just see the world through a lens different from the others, but nobody will convince me that there are not two minutes (there were really 2 minutes) to go to the polling station and choose whom to send in the Faculty Council!
