List of political parties in Sardinia
This article is part of a series on the politics and government of Sardinia |
|
Several Political parties operate in Sardinia. No party has ever had the chance of gaining power alone and thus parties must work with each other to form coalition governments. The political parties are currently organized mainly in two political coalitions at the regional level: one centred on the Democratic Party, the other around Forza Italia. Because of their ideological and political factionalism, the nationalist parties are quite marginal in the electoral scene.

Major parties
More than 15% in the 2014 regional election (or at least 10 regional councillors):
