List For Trieste
The List for Trieste (''Lista per Trieste'', LpT) was a social-liberal Italian political party active in the Province of Trieste. History The party, which was officially launched in 1978, emerged from an opinion movement which arose in Trieste after the Treaty of Osimo was negotiated by Italy and Yugoslavia in 1975. A local committee collected more than 65,000 signatures in order to stop the ratification of it by the Italian Parliament, which however eventually approved it in 1977. LpT was formed in order to ask some special rights for the area of Trieste. In the 1978 regional election the party, which considers itself "the first civic list in Italy", won 6.5% of the vote and four regional deputies, while Manlio Cecovini was appointed mayor of Trieste, after a strong showing of the party in the municipal election (27.5%). In the 1979 general election LpT won 28.7% of the vote in the Province of Trieste and was able to elect Aurelia Benco Gruber to the Italian Chamber of De ...

1983 Italian General Election
The 1983 Italian general election was held in Italy on 26 June 1983.Dieter Nohlen & Philip Stöver (2010) ''Elections in Europe: A data handbook'', p1048 The ''Pentaparty'' formula, the governative alliance between five centrist parties, caused unexpected problems to Christian Democracy. The alliance was fixed and universal, extended both to the national government and to the local administrations. Considering that the election result did no longer depend on the strength of the DC, but the strength of the entire ''Pentapartito'', centrist electors began to look at the Christian Democratic vote as not necessary to prevent a Communist success. Moreover, voting for one of the four minor parties of the alliance was seen as a form of moderate protest against the government without giving advantages to the PCI. Other minor effects of this election were a reduction of the referendarian Radical Party and the appearance of some regional forces. Electoral system The pure party-list proporti ...
