10 Times Better (Italian: 10 Volte Meglio, 10VM), whose official name is Italy 10 Times Better, is a liberal[1] political party in Italy.[2]
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.[3]
10VM wants to restart investing funds on enterprises, on tourism and innovation which are considered the key points to re-launch Italy.[4] The party considers itself different from Five Star Movement, the anti-establishment party which some commentators have compared to 10VM.[5]
The party's slogan is "Italy Deserves to Be Ten Times Better".[6]
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 young people to the future.[7]
On 18 April 2019, three Deputies joined the party and created the "Dream Italy–10 Times Better" parliamentary sub-group within the Mixed Group in the Chamber of Deputies.[8] The party voted against the motion of confidence to the Conte II Cabinet.
In September, four deputies officially left Forza Italia to join Cambiamo!.[9] They entered the "Dream Italy–10 Times Better" sub-group, which was then renamed "Cambiamo!–10 Times Better".[10]
In the political election of the 4th of March, 10VM obtained 37859 votes (0.11%).[11] Best results in Verona where the political leader, Andrea Dusi, obtained 0.82%.
