Pole of Good Government


The Pole of Good Government was a centre-right electoral, and later political alliance in Italy, launched at the 1994 general election by Silvio Berlusconi. Its counterpart in Northern Italy was the Pole of Freedoms.

History

The alliance was composed primarily of Forza Italia and the National Alliance, but also included the Christian Democratic Centre, Union of the Centre and Liberal Democratic Pole. The Pole of Good Government was present only in most of Southern Italy, while the Pole of Freedoms, composed of Forza Italia and the Lega Nord, without the National Alliance, was present in Northern Italy.
However, the term "Pole of Good Government" had no official character: the logo that identified the coalition included just the symbols of the lists that were part of the alliance.
After the fall of the Berlusconi I Cabinet because of disagreements with the Lega Nord, the alliance ended. In its place, Forza Italia, the National Alliance and Christian Democratic Centre formed another coalition, the Pole for Freedoms, which in 2000, after the re-entry of Lega Nord, was renamed House of Freedoms.

Composition
