Italy. Common Good (Italian: Italia. Bene Comune, IBC) was a centre-left political and electoral alliance in Italy created to stand at the 2013 Italian general election. It comprised the following parties:
- Democratic Party (Partito Democratico - PD, social-democratic), led by Pier Luigi Bersani.
- Left Ecology Freedom (Sinistra Ecologia Libertà - SEL, democratic-socialist, ecologist), led by Nichi Vendola.
- Italian Socialist Party (Partito Socialista Italiano - PSI, social-democratic), led by Riccardo Nencini.
- Democratic Centre (Centro Democratico - CD, centrist), led by Bruno Tabacci and Massimo Donadi.
Also part of the alliance were regional parties such as the South Tyrolean People's Party (in South Tyrol),[2] Trentino Tyrolean Autonomist Party (in Trentino),[3] Autonomy Liberty Participation Ecology (in Aosta Valley),[4] Moderats (in Piedmont), and The Megaphone – Crocetta List (in Sicily).[5] Additionally, the Greens of South Tyrol formed a local electoral pact with SEL in South Tyrol.[6]
The alliance was announced on 31 July 2012 by the Secretary of the Democratic Party Pier Luigi Bersani and officially launched on 13 October, with the signature of a common political platform.[7]
By the terms of the agreement, each party in the coalition stood separately in the 2013 general election. However, all parties agreed to support a single candidate as Prime Minister. Bersani was elected as the coalition's leader and candidate for prime minister in the primary election held on 25 November and 2 December.[8][9][10]
In the election, the coalition gained a plurality in both houses of the Italian parliament, garnering 29.6% of the vote in the Chamber[11] and 31.6% of the vote in the Senate.[12] Although IBC had a solid majority of seats in the Chamber, it came up short of a majority in the Senate, thus leaving it unable to form a government on its own. Consequently Bersani resigned from party leadership and the PD joined a grand coalition government, led by the PD's Enrico Letta.
