I remember Italy 1996 well. I was actually on a fairly long vacation with my family to Northern Italy in late 1994 when the Berlusconi government fell due to LN pulled its support. The tour guide was clearly a PRC supporter and I spent a lot time talking to him about the political situation.
I was certain that Berlusconi will be re-elected in 1996 based on the fact that, yes LN pulled out of the Berlusconi alliance but PRC also pulled out of the PDS led front so the FPTP seats should it should really be a wash. Then it turned out that Berlusconi lost and due to the fact that the PRC had some sort of tactical alliance with the PDS led bloc. That seems to have made the difference.
