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.

“Modern tourist guides have helped raised tourist expectations. And they have provided the natives—from Kaiser Wilhelm down to the villagers of Chichacestenango—with a detailed and itemized list of what is expected of them and when. These are the up-to- date scripts for actors on the tourists’ stage.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
“Hey, you dress up our town very nicely. You don’t look out the Chamber of Commerce is going to list you in their publicity with the local attractions.”
—Robert M. Fresco, and Jack Arnold. Dr. Matt Hastings (John Agar)
“Although knaves win in every political struggle, although society seems to be delivered over from the hands of one set of criminals into the hands of another set of criminals, as fast as the government is changed, and the march of civilization is a train of felonies, yet, general ends are somehow answered.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Both parties deprecated war; but one of them would make war rather than let the nation survive; and the other would accept war rather than let it perish. And the war came.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
