632,"Dear Holger,



Good to hearing from you. Please find my comments below:



- Civic Choice (SC) and Movement for Autonomies (MPA) did not participate to the election.



- Does the star associated with NcI mean that NcI is a coalition of SC and MPA (I am not sure my interpretation of the symbols associated with NcI)? In any case, NcI was not a coalition including SC and MPA. Actually, NcI was a list whose exact name was NcI-UDC. This combined UDC (http://www.parlgov.org/explore/ita/party/226/) and a new party called NcI.



- The electoral alliance known as ""Civica Popolare Lorenzin"" included not only IdV (Italy of Values), but also another party that is present in ParlGov dataset: New Centre-Right (NCD) http://www.parlgov.org/explore/ita/party/2268/ 



- The only elected deputy belonging to the CD (Democratic Centre) was elected under the +Europa (Italian Radicals in your table) list.



- Electoral Alliance called Potere Al Popolo (Power to the People): I would say that this was really a new party list (although including PRC and other extreme left parties). The classification choice obviously depends on which is the standard way of classifying these situations in ParlGov.



- PCI: I wuld again say that does not exactly correspond to the old PdCI. As far as I know, PdCI dissolved in 2016 and formed the PCI together with some PRC members and other extreme left politicians. Again, it is a matter on ParlGov classification criteria and how much you prefer continuity over discontinuity.





Hope this can help.
