Italian General Election, 1994 (Veneto)
The 1994 Italian general election, Italian general election of 1994 took place on 27–28 March 1994. In 1993–1994 the ''Tangentopoli'' scandals led to the disappearance of the main government parties, including Christian Democracy (Italy), Christian Democracy (DC) and the Italian Socialist Party (PSI). The DC successor, the Italian People's Party (1994), Italian People's Party (PPI), was not able to retain the votes of its predecessor, which were largely absorbed by Liga Veneta–Lega Nord and Forza Italia, the new party launched by entrepreneur Silvio Berlusconi. In a highly fragmented party system, Forza Italia came first with 23.6% and Liga Veneta second with 21.6%.

1994 Italian General Election
The 1994 Italian general election was held on 27 and 28 March 1994 to elect members of the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate of the Republic for the 12th legislature. Silvio Berlusconi's centre-right coalition won a large majority in the Chamber of Deputies but just missed winning a majority in the Senate. The Italian People's Party, the renamed Christian Democracy (DC), which had dominated Italian politics for almost half a century, was decimated. It took only 29 seats versus 206 for the DC two years earlier—easily the worst defeat a sitting government in Italy has ever suffered, and one of the worst ever suffered by a Western European governing party. New electoral system A new electoral system was introduced in these elections, after a referendum in 1993 which repealed the "supermajority clause" concerning Senate elections. The clause had meant that Senate elections were conducted using ''de facto'' pure proportional representation. As a result of this change, the Senate ...
