Economic Party (Italy)

The Economic Party (Partito Economico, PE) was an Italian political party founded in 1919 in Turin by a group of dealers and industrialists worried by the Decennio Rosso. The party was characterized by an economist vision and a conservative and reactionary tendency.
The Economic Party was particularly rooted in the major cities of Northern Italy and Sicily, also thanks to the alliance with the Agrarian Party. In the 1919 general elections the party got 1.5% of the vote and 7 seats. In the 1921 general elections, it got only the 0.8% of the vote and 5 seats. This poor result prompted them to merge into the Agrarian Party in 1924, which itself disbanded not long after.
