Ironically, the "old guard" saw him as short-lived leader, allowing each faction time to regroup. However, he was able to hold on to power and implement his policies.

The PCI was the largest communist party in western Europe. This was largely because of its non-extremist and pragmatic stance, its growing independence from Moscow and its <a href="/wiki/Eurocommunism" title="Eurocommunism">eurocommunist</a> doctrine. The PCI was especially strong in areas such as <a href="/wiki/Emilia_Romagna" class="mw-redirect" title="Emilia Romagna">Emilia Romagna</a>, where it had stable government positions and mature practical experience, which may have contributed to a more pragmatic approach to politics. The Red Brigades were fiercely opposed by the Communist Party and <a href="/wiki/Trade_union" title="Trade union">trade unions</a>, a few left-wing politicians even used the condescending expression "comrades who do wrong" (<i>Compagni che sbagliano</i>).

After the election, the Christian-Democratic leadership instructed moderate <a href="/wiki/Francesco_Cossiga" title="Francesco Cossiga">Francesco Cossiga</a> to form a <a href="/wiki/Centrism" title="Centrism">centrist</a> minority government with the PSDI and the PLI, which accepted an official engagement into the government for the first time since 1973; however, when in 1980 <a href="/wiki/Benigno_Zaccagnini" title="Benigno Zaccagnini">Benigno Zaccagnini</a> was fired as Secretary of the DC and socialist leader <a href="/wiki/Bettino_Craxi" title="Bettino Craxi">Bettino Craxi</a> offered his help, Cossiga suddenly resigned and formed a new <a href="/wiki/Centre-left" class="mw-redirect" title="Centre-left">centre-left</a> government with the PSI and the PRI, underling that the Catholic leaders had no more problems to choose their allies from anywhere. However, Cossiga later fell on a budget project, and a traditional centre-left government led by <a href="/wiki/Arnaldo_Forlani" title="Arnaldo Forlani">Arnaldo Forlani</a> was formed. The great scandal of the <a href="/wiki/Masonic_lodge" title="Masonic lodge">masonic lodge</a> <a href="/wiki/Propaganda_Due" title="Propaganda Due">P2</a> sank Forlani in 1981. </p><p>This deep political crisis marked the birth of a new political formula which ruled Italy during the 80's: the <i><a href="/wiki/Pentapartito" title="Pentapartito">Pentapartito</a></i> (or <i>five parties</i>), which was no more than the fusion of the two main alliances that DC had used to rule Italy since 1947, the <i>centrism</i> and the <i>centre-left</i>.

But the <i>Pentapartito</i> pact had another important condition: the DC accepted to recognize a pair role with the other four parties, alternating into the government leadership. The Secretary of the <a href="/wiki/Italian_Republican_Party" title="Italian Republican Party">Italian Republican Party</a>, <a href="/wiki/Giovanni_Spadolini" title="Giovanni Spadolini">Giovanni Spadolini</a>, so became the first non-DC <a href="/wiki/Prime_Minister_of_Italy" title="Prime Minister of Italy">Prime Minister of Italy</a> since 1945.
