What affects us when we vote? What ideas, intentions and emotions are there? Veiled political thoughts or elaborate considerations that reflect deeply and then unfold deep roots in our thinking? That we do not know where we have received the beliefs that we collect, as the French mold says, a certain ideology that we share with others or that we collect them without talking to anyone? The clear ideas that define our environment, our life, our society, how we want, or the sensations that make us harder or weaker in the bowels?

What do we think is more important to the citizens? The promises decorated or the omniscient programs that promise us the well-being of each and every one of us? What are we headed for? To the ingenious content of party programs or to the beauty of the aesthetics of campaigns? To the ideas that the parties proclaim or to the candidates they propose to us?

And for parties, what's more important? Visions and desires of affiliates or requests and conditions of voters? What role do the states of leaders, ambitious ambitions and personalisms play in the organisation of parties?

And, on the other hand, to what extent are other factors relevant, how far do they act? Does the ethical parameters of elected parties and positions, for example, affect in a similar way on the left and right? How, in how much, do we citizens value the management of public affairs and how, in how much, do we value the peaceful or conflicting positions of the parties in the political debate? How do we take into account, when voting, the symbolic qualities of the pragmatic themes or values of business?

To what extent are the specific – punctual, good and bad – conditions, collective circumstances and the potential expectations of citizens decisive? And to what extent, beliefs, cultural traditions or forms of consumption and even the media content we acquire?

Is it possible to measure all of them, beyond the thoughts and emotions that some ancient philosophies considered to be pure illusion?

Or is it necessary, condemnations and curses, to lose ourselves in the whirlwind of dreams, intentions, impressions and impressions that the system sells to us every four years?

If Navarre had advanced the 2015 change, I would certainly not have asked such questions (and instead I would have referred to the exciting challenges of the future...).
