History[]

The Sardinian Democratic Union was founded in 1998 as Sardinian section of Democratic Union for the Republic of Francesco Cossiga, a Sardinian who had been Prime Minister and President of Italy. In the 1999 regional election Floris won 6.2% as candidate for president, while the party won 4.1% and three regional councillors.

In the 2004 regional election the UDS, which had been re-established taking the current name,[2] won 3.9% of the vote and two regional councillors. After that, the party became a stable regional ally of The People of Freedom (PdL). In the 2009 regional election, in coalition with the centre-right, the UDS won 3.5% of the vote and got two regional councillors elected (Floris and a member of the New Italian Socialist Party). In the 2010 provincial elections the party was strongest in the Province of Cagliari, where it won 3.8% of the vote.[3]

Since 2008 the party was for a while the regional section of the Alliance of the Centre, a small party that was later merged into PdL.[4]

In the 2014 regional election the UDS obtained 2.6% of the vote and Floris was once again re-elected to the Council.[5]
