'Vote' to Reject Brexit Number 45 · June 2016 - € 3,00 [email protected] • www.italianinsider.it Trastevere Craven Ferrante's Mysterious spycraft Cambridge Naples Nemi Philip Willan Dido Tetley Florence Brock Ingrid Rowland Page 2 Page 3 Page 8 Page 19 UK Expats 'vote' to reject Brexit By John PhIllIPs ROME – British expatriates in the Eternal City climaxed a debate on Brexit by voting symbol- ically for the UK to remain in the European Union, accepting by majority the arguments elucidated by the ALLSI President David Petrie, though there was solid minority support, too, for his opponent, Torquil Dick-Erikson, of UKIP. Speaking in favour of the motion: ‘This House is in favour of Brexit’ at the Italian Insider de- bate held at the Foreign Press Association in Rome on Thursday, May 26, attended by doz- Torquil Dick-Erickson. Photo Credit: S.Phillips ens of expatriates, Mr Dick-Erkison said Brit- ain and the EU are incompatible because they have completely different systems, going back “European history does not begin with the EU 801 years to the Magna Carta. and we gave to reflect on two world wars.” In a world where “capitalism is in reality a religion” and “the bank is a temple” and of na- tionalisms, Trumpism and globalization “Brit- ain adrift from its European cultural siblings will feel even smaller,” Prof. Petrie argued. Members of the public then had their say including a lecturer from la Sapienza, arguing that Italy’s repeated refusal to comply repeat- edly with European Court of Justice rulings to end discrimination against foreign lectur- ers working in Italian universities, was not a reason to reject the European community as a whole. In his summing up Mr Dick-Erikson said that once Britain left the EU British diplo- mats would be able to “thump the table” again to help British citizens in trouble in European countries. Prof. Petrie for his part said his op- ponent has “far, far too much faith in British justice,” citing the examples of the Hillsbor- David Petrie.

Insider View page 15 Prof. Petrie, the head of the association of foreign lecturers in Italy, began by noting that “the Brexit debate has been unconvincing on both sides” and marred by scaremongering. He underlined the importance of the EU for continuing peace and security and demolished a constellation of myths about Britishness. Francis greets lifeguards with dogs in Saint Peter's square.

  • Change in the Italian Party System
    Change in the Italian Party System Luciano BARDI Senio r Lecture r in Po litica! Science, Università di Bologna 1. Introduction 1 The Italian party system appears to have undergone a rather dramatic trans­ formation in recent years. lts extent is revealed by the fact that none of the 13 major competitors in the 1994 Chamber of Deputies' proportional election (ac­ counting for almost 95% of the votes and all but a handful of seats) were present with the same names and symbols as in the 1987 election. Moreover, all but four of them, the Democratie Party of the Left (PDS) and Communist Refoundation (RC) as well as the Catholic inspired La Rete and the Radical Party's (PR) new elec­ toral incarnation, Lista Pannella, experienced important formal or even substan­ tial changes since the 1992 election. Although only one of the 13 lists, Silvio Berlusconi's Forza Italia, appears to be completely new, the sheer number of the­ se changes, albeit formal and superficial in some cases, reveals not only the mag­ nitude of the party system's transformation, but also the radical shift in public attitudes toward the old, party-based, regime. Because party is now a word used only with contempt by politicians and commentators, it is a label which electoral competitors carefully try to avoid. In the 1994 election only three of the most important competitors (PDS, PSI , PPI) still called themselves "parties" 2 . By 1994 even ltaly's surviving historica! parties had adopted new organizatio­ nal models. The PDS remained closest to its earlier tradition, and the prelimi­ nary party rules accepted in 1991 provided a formal structure which resembled the mass party model, albeit in a context of emerging factionalism and stratarchy.

  • The Reason Given for the UK's Decision to Float Sterling Was the Weight of International Short-Term Capital
    - Issue No. 181 No. 190, July 6, 1972 The Pound Afloat: The reason given for the U.K.'s decision to float sterling was the weight of international short-term capital movements which, despite concerted intervention from the Bank of England and European central banks, had necessitated massive sup­ port operations. The U.K. is anxious that the rate should quickly o.s move to a "realistic" level, at or around the old parity of %2. 40 - r,/, .• representing an effective 8% devaluation against the dollar. A w formal devaluation coupled with a wage freeze was urged by the :,I' Bank of England, but this would be politically embarrassing in the }t!IJ light of the U.K. Chancellor's repeated statements that the pound was "not at an unrealistic rate." The decision to float has been taken in spite of a danger that this may provoke an international or European monetary crisis. European markets tend to consider sterling as the dollar's first line of defense and, although the U.S. Treasury reaffirmed the Smithsonian Agreement, there are fears throughout Europe that pressure on the U.S. currency could disrupt the exchange rate re­ lationship established last December. On the Continent, the Dutch and Belgians have put forward a scheme for a joint float of Common Market currencies against the dollar. It will not easily be implemented, since speculation in the ex­ change markets has pushed the various EEC countries in different directions. The Germans have been under pressure to revalue, the Italians to devalue. Total opposition to a Community float is ex­ pected from France (this would sever the ties between the franc and gold), and the French also are adamant that Britain should re­ affirm its allegiance to the European monetary agreement and return to a fixed parity.
