The alliance won the 1994 general elections under the name Polo delle Libertà, but the resulting government was short-lived, as the Northern League withdrew their support and went to opposition. An early national general election was held in Italy on March 27, 1994 to elect members of the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate. The politics of Italy take place in a framework of a parliamentary, democratic Republic, and of a Multi-party system. Particularly unstable had been the relationship within the federalist Lega Nord movement and the conservative, pro-central government National Alliance. Political federalism is a Political philosophy in which a group of members are bound together (Latin foedus, covenant) with a governing Conservatism is a term used to describe political philosophies that favour Tradition, where tradition refers to various religious cultural or nationally defined Central government or the national government (or in Federal states the Federal government) is the Government at the level of the Nation-state National Alliance ( Alleanza Nazionale, AN is a conservative Italian political party. As such, the first Berlusconi government lasted only nine months.

After a five-year centre-left government, Berlusconi managed to keep at bay some of the most uncompromising Lega Nord proposals and won the 2001 general election, this time with a view to create a stable government. The centre-left (or center-left) is a political term commonly used to describe or denote individuals political parties or organizations (such as Think A national general election was held in Italy on May 13, 2001 to elect members of the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate of the Republic It sought to undermine the proportionality rules of the Italian Additional Member System of elections by running many of its constituency candidates under a decoy list called Abolizione Scorporo, a title which explicitly stated its opposition to the counting rules; its tactic largely worked because it had more support than the leftist United in the Olive Tree (Uniti nell'Ulivo) alliance. The Additional Member System (AMS is a branch of Voting systems in which some representatives are elected from geographic constituencies and others are elected under The Olive Tree ( L'Ulivo) was a denomination used for several successive Centre-left Italian political coalitions from 1995 to 2007

In 2003 House of Freedoms was routed in local elections by the Olive Tree alliance, and the League threatened to pull out of the House of Freedoms. Year 2003 ( MMIII) was a Common year starting on Wednesday of the Gregorian calendar. In 2005, once again, House of Freedoms was severely routed in regional elections, losing six of eight Italian regions. Year 2005 ( MMV) was a Common year starting on Saturday (link displays full calendar of the Gregorian calendar. This led to a crisis of the government, particularly after the UDC pulled its four ministers out. A few weeks later, a new government was formed on April 23, 2005 with the same six parties (FI, AN, LN, UDC, NPSI, PRI) and a minor Cabinet reshuffle (Berlusconi III Cabinet). The Berlusconi III Cabinet was the Cabinet of the government of Italy from 23 April 2005 to 5 May 2006.

Inclusion of neo-fascist movements

In February 2006, two months ahead of the general elections of 2006, UDC secretary Lorenzo Cesa and others protested against the inclusion of neo-fascists such as Adriano Tilgher, Roberto Fiore, Alessandra Mussolini, Gaetano Saya and Pino Rauti in the alliance, branding them impresentabili (unsuitable). Year 2006 ( MMVI) was a Common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. Lorenzo Cesa (born on 16 August 1951 in Arcinazzo Romano, Rome) is an Italian Politician, and was elected to the Italian This page specifically pertains to fascism after World War II Adriano Tilgher (born 1 October 1947 in Taranto) is an Italian Far right politician Roberto Fiore (born April 15 1959 in Rome) has been a leading Neo-fascist in the post-war era both in Italy and across Europe Alessandra Mussolini (born December 30 1962 is an Italian Conservative Politician, previously an Actress and model. Gaetano Saya ( Messina Italy, 1956 is a Far right Italian politician, leader of the National Right Neo-fascist party Giuseppe Umberto "Pino" Rauti (born November 19, 1926) has been a leading figure on the Italian Far right for many years

It appeared for some time that these neo-fascist leading figures were going to receive a few almost-guaranteed seats in the Parliament on Forza Italia's ticket. [1], as claimed by political opposers, while Berlusconi definitely ruled out this possibility. [2]

Berlusconi confirmed negotiating with Alessandra Mussolini, but claimed he would request her not to include people like Tilgher and Fiore. Alessandra Mussolini (born December 30 1962 is an Italian Conservative Politician, previously an Actress and model. [3]. Mussolini had previously contended she would not accept any veto. Berlusconi had been photographed with Gaetano Saya's wife, who is also secretary of an extremist neo-fascist party that claims to have such an agreement with the House of Freedoms. [4]

Eventually, Mussolini declared that neither she nor other neo-fascists would be candidates, but her alliance of neo-fascist movements, Alternativa Sociale, would support the House of Freedoms. Alternativa Sociale ( Social Alternative) was a Coalition of neo-fascist political parties in Italy. [5]

Transformation into the People of Freedom Party

In December of 2007, Berlusconi announced a plan for the creation of a successor to the House of Freedoms, the People of Freedom, hoping to unify much of the Italian right into a single party. The People of Freedom ( Il Popolo della Libertà, PdL is a liberal-conservative History Premises Following the run-up to the With the unexpected fall of the Prodi government in January, 2008, the organization of the People of Freedom was completed, but only two parties formally joined, Berlusconi's Forza Italia and the National Alliance.
