The
Ten Most Serious Problems in the Venices* 
(currently available only in italian)
In the past months, a public survey was carried out amongst
members and supporters of Confederazione Veneziana (the
Institute's parent organization), and amongst the general
public. The aim of the survey was to discover what issues
the citizens of North-East* Italy consider most worrying
and which ones they reckon to be the most serious.
Survey participants were given a list containing 51 issues
which, in the opinion of the survey editors, are currently
afflicting the Venices*. Each participant was asked
to choose those ten issues (and ten only) which she/he
wished the Regional Governments to place at the top of their
work agenda.
"Inefficient judicial system" came top of
the "winning list" of the ten most serious problems
in the Venices*; this issue was chosen by 82% of the
respondents. In second position we have"illegal immigration",
which was chosen by 62% of the respondents. In third position,
"unfair taxes" chosen by 55% of the respondents.
Giving a "weight" to the items in this list and
taking values 1, 2 and 3 as indicating maximum importance,
the issue "lack of social education" gains
first place in the "winning list". This issue has
in fact been given the highest number of "heavy votes".
60% of individuals who chose it, have in fact classified it
as being of the utmost importance.
