RFC on Structure of Lists of Italian Political Parties

[edit]

{{rfc|soc|hist|pol}}

Which of the following plans for structuring the lists of Italian political parties should be used?

  • Plan A: Parties listed according to the principle of representation in the institutions
  • Plan B: Parties listed on the basis of the principle of territoriality

Please indicate in the Survey which of the plans should be adopted, with a brief statement of the reason. Please do not respond to other editors in the Survey. You may respond to other editors in the Discussion section; that is what it is for. --~~~~

The parties would be listed as following:

Plan A
  • 1. Active parties
    • 1a. Parties represented in the Italian or European Parliament
    • 1b. Parties represented in regional parliaments (Regional councils)
    • 1c. Parties without representation (or "Non-represented parties")
  • 2. Defunct parties
    • 2a. Defunct parties represented in the Italian or European Parliament
    • 2b. Defunct parties represented in regional parliaments (Regional councils)
    • 2c. Defunct parties without representation (or "Non-represented parties")
Plan B
  • 1. Active parties
    • 1a. Main parties - countrywide parties represented in the Italian or European Parliament
    • 1b. Micro parties - countrywide parties without parliamentary representation
    • 1c. Regional parties - parties active only in one region
    • 1d. Overseas parties - parties active only in overseas constituencies
  • 2. Former parties
    • 2a. Main parties - countrywide parties represented in the Italian or European Parliament
    • 2b. Micro parties - countrywide parties without parliamentary representation
    • 2c. Regional parties - parties active only in one region
    • 2d. Overseas parties - parties active only in overseas constituencies

The Plan with more preferences will be used as a criterion for organizing the lists of Italian parties. --~~~~




Note: When the organisation of the sections on parties are resolved, other issues will follow, mainly: a) the introduction of wikitables in some or all the sections; b) the fields of each wikitable; c) a specific section on "historical parties" (meaning those historical groups of the 19th century without a real organizational structure and without an official name, such as the Historical Right and the Historical Left); d) dividing main parties in two categories, one for the parties having or having had parliamentary groups of their own; e) including in the list also sections for coalitions, electoral lists and non-party parliamentary groups.


Plan A

[edit]

Plan A provides for the division of parties into 3 categories: "Active parties", "Historical parties" and "Former/defunct parties". The active and former parties are in turn divided into three sub-categories: "Parties represented in the Italian or European Parliament", "Parties represented in regional parliaments (councils)" and "Parties without representation". The "Historical parties", on the other hand, are those Italian political groupings of the 19th century which had neither a party structure nor an official name, but which were distinguished only by their political position (for example Historical Left and Historical Right). The former or defunct parties, on the other hand, are those political parties (starting from the end of the 19th century / beginning of the 20th century) which already had an official name and a defined structure.

  • 1. Active parties
    • 1a. Parties represented in the Italian or European Parliament
    • 1b. Parties represented only in Regional Councils
    • 1c. Non-represented parties
  • 2. Historical parties
  • 3. Former (or defunct) parties
    • 3a. Former (or defunct) parties represented in the Italian or European Parliament
    • 3b. Former (or defunct) parties represented only in Regional Councils
    • 3c. Former (or defunct) non-represented parties

Plan A does not provide for direct inclusion in the list of entities other than political parties, as stated in the title of the page. Political entities such as coalitions of parties, electoral lists and parliamentary groups will be better treated and listed in specific pages, ie "Political alliances in Italy" and "Parliamentary groups in Italy", to be indicated in the "See also" section at the bottom of the page. For example:

    • 1d. Regional parties - parties active only in one region
