According to Livio Gigliuto, Chairman at Istituto Piepoli, interviewed by Alessandro D'Amato for QN, the right candidate can add votes to an already strong party.
“Preferences in European elections have weight. But it must be said that the further away the elections are in territorial terms, the less the candidate and the more the party matters.”
Livio Gigliuto, Chairman at Istituto Piepoli, says that while in the municipal elections the candidates are decisive, in the regional elections they are less so: “In the European elections, however, people want to vote more for the party, because they want to judge the government. However, there is a certain weight that the candidate also has, obviously if she/he is the right one, who can add votes to an already strong party.”
