'''Decide!''' (''Decidere!'') was an Italian [[libertarianism|libertarian]]{{Citation needed|date=November 2015}} political association established and led by [[Daniele Capezzone]].
The group was sometimes also referred to as ''Decidere.net'', in reference to its official website. It was one of the founding members of [[Silvio Berlusconi]]'s [[The People of Freedom]] party. Capezzone was later appointed spokesman of the new party.
==History==
Decide! was launched in June 2007 by [[Daniele Capezzone]], former secretary of the [[Italian Radicals]] and member of the [[Italian Chamber of Deputies|Chamber of Deputies]] for the [[Rose in the Fist]], before leaving both. At the beginning the association was affiliated neither to [[centre-left]] [[The Union (political coalition)|The Union]], from which Capezzone hailed, nor to the [[centre-right]] [[House of Freedoms]], but it seemed definitely closer to the latter. Capezzone himself became closer to [[Forza Italia]]'s leader [[Silvio Berlusconi]] and was harshly critical of [[Prodi II Cabinet]], which he did not support anymore.
Decide! was officially presented to the public on 3 September 2007 and organized two major rallies: the first one on pensions ([[Rome]], 22 September) and the second one on taxes ([[Milan]], 29 September). On 7 November Capezzone finally left the Italian Radicals and the Rose in the Fist.
On 12 May 2008 Capezzone was appointed spokesman of Forza Italia. A year later, after that he had led Decide! into [[The People of Freedom]] led by Berlusconi, Capezzone was appointed spokesman of the new party.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.ilpopolodellaliberta.it/notizie/arc_15441.htm |title=PDL - Il Popolo della Libert? - PDL: RESPONSABILI NAZIONALI DI SETTORE |access-date=2009-04-15 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090412122455/http://www.ilpopolodellaliberta.it/notizie/arc_15441.htm |archive-date=2009-04-12 |url-status=dead}}</ref>
