10 Times Better

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.^[1][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][failed verification]}

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.^{[citation needed]}

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".^[8][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%.^{[citation needed]}
