The crisis of political representation and parties is mostly due to the growing up of interests and lobbies. In addiction to this it has to be said that the development of contracted relationships between economic-financial lobbies and institutions has shown how the political legitimation by itself is not adequate to give voice to all aspects of social life. Furthermore this justifies the growth of other political organizations, such as Trade Unions. In spite of the end of political parties supremacy, the Parliament can still be thought as the centre of the interests’ conflicts, and the place where the unity of the Nation can be reconstructed beyond the fragmentation of interests.
