Worldwide Governance Indicators in Italy
Chart illustrating the Worldwide Governance Indicators in Italy, aimed at evaluating the performance of different political parties. The chart provides an overview of how governance indicators have varied across different administrations over time. The background colors in the chart help distinguish the political orientation of the parties: red represents left-wing parties, blue represents right-wing parties, and gray represents centrist parties. It appears that there is no particularly striking evidence of differences in performance among the parties. However, a slight trend emerges showing that center-left governments tend to achieve somewhat better results. It is important to note that these results should be contextualized carefully. Often, governments continue and build upon proposals initiated by their predecessors, which can influence the apparent performance outcomes.Click here to view the chart in full screen Below is the Python code to generate this chart.
