History
The List was composed mainly by Fascist members but also by some Liberals like former Prime Ministers Vittorio Emanuele Orlando and Antonio Salandra, by politicians form the Italian Nationalist Association like its leader Enrico Corradini, some populars which were expelled from the PPI and other right-wing forces.
In the 1924 general election the National List became the first party in the country with 65.7% of votes and 374 seats in the Chamber of Deputies.
It was disbanded in 1926 when Mussolini's government banned all the non-fascist parties, above all his former allies Liberals and the Nationalists.
