Not voting is individualism. But for some it is also a criticism of democracy

There is the instrumental use of facts and there is their moralistic use, which is worse it is difficult to say. But in the last two days, politicians, journalists, professional commentators or those willing to use social networks have not shied away from both the improper and always pro domo uses of the abstention issue. Real fact, but deliberately exaggerated news: at the 2022 policies, the turnout was 66 per cent in Lazio and 73 in Lombardy, and at the previous regional elections it had always been the driving force behind the policies. We insist on a physiological datum in many democracies, but the political one would be more interesting.
