European Parliament election, 2004 (Italy)
Encyclopedia
Elections to the European Parliament
were held in Italy
on 12 and 13 June 2004. Italy's highly fragmented party system made it hard to identify an overall trend, but the results were generally seen as a defeat for Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi
and a victory for the centre-left opposition coalition identified with Romano Prodi
, who was President of the European Commission
until 2004, and was widely expected to re-enter Italian politics at the next election.
The common list of the Olive Tree
, comprising mainly the Democrats of the Left
and Daisy-Democracy is Freedom became the largest list, with an important psychological effect. However, expectations for this list were originally somewhat larger, and Massimo D'Alema
had proclaimed that "If the unity list reaches 33%, the government has to go".
While the Unity list wasn't so phenomenal, the test indicated a somewhat reduced support for the centre-right coalition. However, in European elections, Italians tend to vote in a more "light-hearted" way, giving their vote more easily to a candidate outside their usual party; this generally reduces the significance of these elections.
¹ United in the Olive Tree run in coalition with SVP in North-Eastern Italy. Michl Ebner
of the SVP was so elected thanks to the electoral law provisions protecting ethnic minorities.
Seats are allocated to party lists on a national basis using an electoral quota, with the residue given to the lists with the largest excess over whole quotas. An electoral quota is then calculated for each list and used to allocate seats to each list in each of the five electoral regions.
