{"rowid": 632, "comment": "Dear Holger,\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nGood to hearing from you. Please find my comments below:\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n- Civic Choice (SC) and Movement for Autonomies (MPA) did not participate to the election.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n- 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.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n- 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/ \r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n- The only elected deputy belonging to the CD (Democratic Centre) was elected under the +Europa (Italian Radicals in your table) list.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n- 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.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n- 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.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nHope this can help.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nBest,\r\n\r\nAndrea", "data_source": "pc", "name": "Noi con l'Italia-Unione di Centro", "name_english": "Us with Italy-Union of the Centre", "party_change": 1, "name_short": "NcI-UDC", "party_id": {"value": 226, "label": "Unione / Centro"}, "name_ascii": "Noi con l'Italia-Unione di Centro", "date": "2017-12-19", "name_nonlatin": "", "id": 694, "description": ""}
