The Italian general election of 1876 was held in Italy on November 5, with a second round of voting on November 12.〔Nohlen, D & Stöver, P (2010) ''Elections in Europe: A data handbook'', p1047 ISBN 978-3-8329-5609-7〕 ==The race== The Historical Left was led by the current Prime Minister of Italy, Agostino Depretis, who became head of the government and early elections were called. On the other hand, the bloc of the Historical Right was led by Marco Minghetti, former Prime Minister from Bologna. The election on 5 and 12 Novemner was a snap one, and it came after MPs from Tuscany became dissatisfied with the government of Minghetti following its refusal to intervene in the financial problems of Florence. The government was defeated on a vote on nationalising railways on 18 March 1876 and was forced to resign and Depretis was appointed Prime Minister.〔Nohlen & Stöver, p1029〕 For the first time, the left-wing won an election, taking 414 of the 508 seats, of which 12 were extreme left-wingers.〔 As opposed to the previous right-wing governments, whose members were largely aristocrats representing rentiers from the north of the country, and held moderate political views including loyalty to the crown and low government spending,〔Nohlen & Stöver, p1028〕 the left-wing government represented the bourgeoisie of the south of the country and supported low taxation, secularism, a strong foreign policy and public jobs.〔 Only 605,007 men of a total population of around 28 million were entitled to vote.〔Nohlen & Stöver, p1049〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Italian general election, 1876」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
