10 Times Better (Italian: 10 Volte Meglio, 10VM), whose official name is Italy 10 Times Better, is a liberal political party in Italy.[1]

History

10 Times Better was founded in December 2017 by the Venetian entrepreneur, Andrea Dusi, to run in the 2018 general election; Dusi's aim is to create an Italian equivalent of Ciudadanos, the Spanish liberal party led by Albert Rivera.[2]

10VM wants to restart investing funds on enterprises, on tourism and innovation which are considered the key points to re-launch Italy.[3] Dusi often stressed that his party is completely the opposite of the Five Star Movement, the anti-establishment party which some commentators have compared to 10VM.[4]

The party's slogan is "Italy Deserves to Be Ten Times Better".[5]

In July 2018 the founder Andrea Dusi decided to leave the political party to continue his activity as civic leader through Impactscool, a no profit organization aiming to prepare the youngests to the future.[6]

On 18 April 2019 three Deputies joined the party. The party voted against the motion of confidence to the Conte II Cabinet.

In September four deputies officially left Forza Italia in order to join "Cambiamo!".[7] Along with a fifth deputy (Giorgio Silli), they renamed the "Dream Italy–10 Times Better" sub-group within the Mixed Group as "Cambiamo!–10 Times Better".[8]

Election results

In the political election of the 4th of March, 10VM obtained 37859 votes (0.11%). Best results in Verona where the political leader, Andrea Dusi, obtained 0.82% .
