Province, basta soluzioni all’italiana, Vanno abolite tutte, subito

...
Una cosa è certa: quando si parla di abolizione delle province, la politica è davvero provinciale. L’idea del governo di abolire quelle sotto i trecentomila abitanti è ridicola, l’ennesimo esempio di mancanza di coraggio, di soluzione all’italiana, a metà, una soluzione ipocrita alla “tarallucci e vino”.

Se taglio deve essere, e taglio deve essere!, che lo sia completo e definitivo. Noi lo chiediamo da tempo, Casini lo ha ribadito ieri: «Il governo ha proposto di abolire le Province sotto i 300mila abitanti, creando paradossi come quelli della Liguria dove rimarrebbe la sola provincia di Genova. Chiediamo alla maggioranza (e al PD, che ha sempre votato contro la loro soppressione) di fare un atto di serietà, abolendole tutte a partire dai primi rinnovi. È così difficile essere seri?». Pare lo sia, la politica proprio non riesce ad assere seria. Vuoi per motivi pratici, vedi gli interessi della Lega ad avere le province vista la “ristrettezza” territoriale dove “esprimersi”; vuoi per desiderio egoistico di conservazione dei privilegi da parte della casta. La casta non vuole mutare status, si accontenta di gettare un po’ di fumo negli occhi. E invece servirebbe una rivoluzione culturale. O forse, semplicemente, come scrive Sergio Romano: «Per raddrizzare il Paese non basta quindi una manovra finanziaria. Occorre anche una manovra democratica, vale a dire un pacchetto di misure che serva a spegnere i sentimenti di rabbia e disprezzo che molti italiani provano per i loro rappresentanti. Se il problema maggiore, come sembra, è quello del Parlamento, converrebbe cominciare, il più rapidamente possibile, dal numero dei parlamentari». Si agisca subito, anche perché il sospetto che molti di loro siano inutili non è del tutto infondato.

yes, we know, there is always a "solution"
to save the "holy" cast, and since provinces
are not very holy, or not as holy as commons and regions
here we are
with the latest "exceptions"
for the usual sons of the white duck
that seem to come from the desk
of little king Francis of Naples
...
here, a new "reasonable" proposal
for the ones that instead than population,
want to look at distance, reasonable also:
-regions distance, one from the next, 500 miles from center to center
-provinces distance, one from the next, 50 miles from city to city
-commons distance, one from the next, 15 miles from common to common
...
what is "not" reasonable is:
-we have "4 times" the commons of any "logical need"
-we have "twice" the provinces of any "logical need"
-we have "4 times" the regions of any "logical need"
and the cow pays for the chair warmers
"and" we are at the verge of planetary bankruptcy
some decency, please
now, stop the horseplay
and go redesign the damn map,
for god sake, looks like dealing with three years old
...

and, by the way



County

...
A county is a jurisdiction of local government in certain modern nations. Historically in mainland Europe, the original French term, comté, and its equivalents in other languages (contea, contado, comtat, condado, Grafschaft, Gau, etc.) denoted a jurisdiction under the sovereignty of a count (cf. conte, comte, conde, Graf).

When the Normans conquered England, they brought the term with them. But the Vikings had already introduced the term earl (from Old Norse, jarl) to the British Isles. Thus, "earl" and "earldom" were taken as equivalent to the continental use of "count" and "county". So, the later-imported term became a synonym for the native English word scir ([ʃir]) or, in Modern English, shire

Since a shire was an administrative division of the kingdom, the term "county" evolved to designate an administrative division of national government in most modern uses. In federal nations like the United States and Canada, counties are administrative divisions of the sub-federal states, commonwealths, and provinces; the federal states themselves having no formal divisions.

A county may be further subdivided into townships or other administrative jurisdictions under the county's control. The boundaries of a county usually, but not always, contain cities, villages, towns, or other municipal corporations. Depending on the particular nation, municipalities might or might not be subject to direct or indirect county control. In the United States, for example, municipalities are usually independent of county authority but file certain reports and returns with state government through various organs and agencies of county government.

In the United Kingdom, many county names derive from the name of the county town with the word "shire" added on: for example, Gloucester, in Gloucestershire; Worcester, in Worcestershire; etc. [1]

Outside the Anglophone community of nations, the term "county" is often used to describe sub-national jurisdictions that are structurally equivalent to counties in the relationship they have with their national government; but which may or may not be operationally equivalent to the county as that entity is known in predominantly English-speaking countries.

now "let's find the smartest guys solution"
because it is known we are illuminated by holy grandness,
so let's abolish counties (also known as provinces)
because we Italian are sure the western world is full of dumb assess
and we are smarter
we don't need counties
Rwanda Burundi does not have them either
oh, no, wait a minute, they have them too
and besides the capital
their size is 80 miles times 40 miles
"interesting"
