The Government of Change (Italian: Governo del cambiamento) is a coalition in Italy composed of the Five Star Movement and the League. The coalition formed the Conte Cabinet under the leadership of Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte in June 2018. The media have also dubbed it as the Yellow-Green government (Italian: Governo giallo-verde) due to the parties' official colors while the League's leader has called it Yellow-Blue government (Italian: Governo giallo-blu).
The coalition is composed by the following parties.
The government is externally supported by the Brothers of Italy (FdI) as well as the Associative Movement Italians Abroad (MAIE), which had been recently joined by five dissident deputies of the M5S, one dissident senator from the South American Union Italian Emigrants (USEI) and two dissident senators of the M5S.
The March 2018 general election resulted in a hung parliament, with the Five Star Movement (M5S) led by Luigi Di Maio that became the party with the largest number of votes and of parliamentary seats while the centre-right alliance in which Matteo Salvini's League emerged as the main political force won a plurality of seats in the Chamber of Deputies and in the Senate. The centre-left coalition led by former Prime Minister Matteo Renzi came third.
