Electoral Referendum sur la loi: les ont-ils valdôtains the 'droit politique' à voter?

tomorrow and after tomorrow, Sunday 21 and Monday, June 22, the Italian electors are to vote yes or no to t kings referendum questions concerning the electoral law for the Italian Parliament . As part of Valle d'Aosta of the Italian state, the Valle d'Aosta Valle d'Aosta and have all the constitutional and legal rights to go to the polls to respond to the consultation.

Anyway, I have a question - provocative, of course - a political : Since the result the referendum will not affect in any way the electoral system in force in VdA (which is and will remain, in particular, a pure majority system), is it politically correct and acceptable for Valdostane vote for this referendum?

Let me explain in more detail with an example. Suppose quorum of 50% +1 is joined with a minimum difference , say about 50,000 ways: we could probably argue that the electorate Aosta, where the participation in the region to the consultation is at or more than the standard, has a decisive influence on an issue that does not look directly . In other words, the Aosta Valley could be responsible for changing the electoral law for the Italian Parliament, but without any direct effect on regional politics.

Valdostane course we have the right and duty to vote , particularly because the outcome of the referendum could affect the formation of the Italian parliament and government, areas which look directly VdA too. The Aosta Valley, therefore, have all rights (legal, political, moral) to go to the polls. But what I want to do is focus on problem of asymmetry in Italian institutional . It is, in other words, the problem of West Lothian (West Lothian Question ) , raised about thirty years ago by Scottish MP Tam Dalyell . Without going into details - it would be a long and complicated discussion - as I want to emphasize, along with the referendum question, whenever a parliamentary Aosta (or Sicily, Sardinia, Trentino, the South Tyrol and Friuli Venezia Giulia) vote in the Senate or the House of Deputies on a question which is, in its respective region, local jurisdiction (eg, school), makes a decision that will have virtually no effect on his electoral district. Is it correct and acceptable for a system of parliamentary democracy?

So this is a typical problem of asymmetry of federation (the Canadian case is emblematic), political philosophy and legal, but also an open question in the Italian institutional framework.
