The Italian general elections of 1992 were held on the April 5, 1992.
The 1992 elections were the first without the traditionally second most important political force in Italy, the Italian Communist Party (PCI), which had been disbanded in 1989. It was replaced by a more socialdemocratic-oriented force, the Democratic Party of the Left (PDS), and by a minority entity formed by members who did not want to renounce to the Communist tradition, the Communist Refoundation Party (PRC). However, put together they gained around 4% less than what the already declining PCI had obtained in 1987.
The other major feature was the sudden rise of the separatist Lombard League, which increased its vote from c. 0.5% of the preceding elections to more than 8%, increasing from a single member both in the Chamber and the Senate to 55 and 25, respectively. The onda lunga ("long wave") of Bettino Craxi's now centrist-oriented Italian Socialist Party, which in the past elections had been forecast next to overcome PCI, seemed to stop. Christian Democracy and the other traditional government parties (with the exception of the Republican Party) also experimented a slight decrease in their vote.
