Several Political parties operate in Veneto, and historically they have been even more than today. No party has the chance of gaining power alone (even if Liga Veneta–Lega Nord runs the provincial government alone in Treviso) and thus parties must work with each other to form coalition governments.
The party system of Veneto is a three-party system. Liga Veneta, which is by far the largest party, dominates regional politics along with its junior partner, The People of Freedom, that is the second-largest party in the region. The last regional election, held in March 2010, saw the participation of other two major coalitions: one centred around the Democratic Party and one formed by the Union of the Centre and North-East Project.
Famous quotes containing the words list of, list, political and/or parties:
“Do your children view themselves as successes or failures? Are they being encouraged to be inquisitive or passive? Are they afraid to challenge authority and to question assumptions? Do they feel comfortable adapting to change? Are they easily discouraged if they cannot arrive at a solution to a problem? The answers to those questions will give you a better appraisal of their education than any list of courses, grades, or test scores.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
“I made a list of things I have
to remember and a list
of things I want to forget,
but I see they are the same list.”
—Linda Pastan (b. 1932)
“I would like you to understand completely, also emotionally, that I’m a political detainee and will be a political prisoner, that I have nothing now or in the future to be ashamed of in this situation. That, at bottom, I myself have in a certain sense asked for this detention and this sentence, because I’ve always refused to change my opinion, for which I would be willing to give my life and not just remain in prison. That therefore I can only be tranquil and content with myself.”
—Antonio Gramsci (1891–1937)
“People who live in the post-totalitarian system know only too well that the question of whether one or several political parties are in power, and how these parties define and label themselves, is of far less importance than the question of whether or not it is possible to live like a human being.”
—Václav Havel (b. 1936)
