The AIIE supported improvements in consular and health-care services for Italians living abroad, and was generally focused on interactions between Italy and the country's diaspora population.[2] One candidate for the Italian Chamber of Deputies indicated that the party was neither right-wing nor left-wing, and that it opposed bureaucracy while supporting freedom for both the individual and society.[3] Another party candidate for the Italian Senate said that the AIIE was seeking to reach an electorate of moderate and undecided voters.[4]

gollark: I'm an expert on this because I read *multiple* Wikipedia articles.
gollark: People are not idiots, and realized that that could be an issue, so there's work on designing asymmetric encryption schemes (symmetric is mostly safe as far as I know, except for Grover's algorithm) which cannot be broken by quantum computing.
gollark: Which breaks RSA and elliptic curve stuff.
gollark: Quantum computers *cannot* do anything ever a trillion times faster, or something ridiculous like that; they can accelerate some algorithms, for example factoring integers fast and something something discrete logarithm problem.
gollark: There are post-quantum schemes already, they're just annoying and not standardized yet.
