Il ricambio e la trasformazione della classe parlamentare erano i risultati più attesi dalle elezioni del 27 e 28 marzo 1994: il doppio effetto, prodotto dalla bufera di Tangentopoli e dall'adozione di un sistema elettorale maggioritario, rendeva facilmente prevedibile il mutamento, tuttavia la vittoria di uno schieramento o dell'altro avrebbe prodotto esiti diversi sia nel quantum di novità espressa in termini di neo-parlamentari che nelle qualità socio-politiche di questo nuovo personale.

Summary

Summary

This article focuses on the major changes of the political class in Italy produced by the election of 1994. After evaluating the quantitative aspects of the élite renewal, the author describes the main peculiarities of the new Italian MPs, looking at the social and political backgrounds. Some relevant characters are stressed: the decreasing role of the party-local government path to the parliamentary career (even among the parliamentarians of some traditional parties survived to the electoral revolution) and the emergence of a new group of beginner politicians.

The variables useful to explain this process of change are basically two: the impact of the new electoral system and the tremendous consequences of the delegitimation of the old. parties (not only the governing ones): the mixed effects of these phenomena determined the emergence of new political actors which show different and totally new models of political recruitment (the Northern League since 1992 and Forza Italia today) but also very relevant process of change in the political recruitment of the traditional parties. In particular, the structural crisis of the Popular Party, new version of the classic Christian Democracy, forced the leaders of this party to a total change of the personnel and of the criteria of selection, erasing in one day the most lasting and powerful sector of the old political class.
