Va' Pensiero Padania
''Va' pensiero Padania'' was a Northern-Italian electoral list for the 2001 general election. In 2000 Lega Nord signed a coalition pact with Silvio Berlusconi's Forza Italia.

Another leading member and future leader of Lega Padana Lombardia, Roberto Bernardelli, was to stand as candidate in opposition to Marcello Dell'Utri in a constituency in Milano, but later backtracked.
