The article analyses the issue of political direction, seeking to update constitutional-law reflection on its determination between Parliament and Government. The analysis of doctrinal debate and of the dynamics emerging from practice reveals a marginalisation of Parliament but rules out the view that processes of governmental verticalization, although present, are such as to violate the relevant constitutional principles. It nevertheless points to a tendency to shift from function to structure, reflecting a specific but questionable methodological approach to the issue, according to which political direction is transformed from a category into a legally protected interest to be pursued above all through institutional reforms.
Keywords: Political direction, Parliament, Government, stability, category, legally protected interest.
