Team Autonomies (Team Autonomie, Team A) was a liberal political party in South Tyrol, Italy.

The party's leader is Elena Artioli, a former member of the South Tyrolean People's Party (SVP) and provincial leader of Lega Nord Alto Adige – Südtirol (LNST) during 2013–2014. Once a sister party of LNST, Team A became an associate party of the Democratic Party (PD) in 2014.

History

In the run-up of the 2008 provincial election LNST was joined by Elena Artioli, who had left the SVP after the party chose to restrict its membership to German- and Ladin-speakers. In the election LNST won the 2.1% of the vote and Artioli was elected to the Provincial Council.[1]

In January 2013 Artioli, who had become the party's rising star and the darling of Lega Nord's federal leadership, was elected national secretary of LNST[2] and in May she announced that the party would run in the 2013 provincial election as part of the Team Autonomies/Team Artioli (Team A), a larger autonomist and inter-ethnic electoral list inspired to the Austrian party Team Stronach.[3] Later, in September, Team A was integrated into the "Forza Alto Adige–Lega Nord–Team Autonomies" list, along with The People of Freedom.[4][5] In the election the list took 2.5% of the vote[6] and Artioli was the only candidate elected.[7]

In January 2014, at the very beginning of the Council term, Artioli voted in favour of Arno Kompatscher (SVP), the new provincial governor, in a vote of confidence[8] and, consequently, left Lega Nord.[9] A few months later Artioli, who had come to be a supporter of Prime Minister Matteo Renzi, joined the PD and became the provincial coordinator of Liberal PD, the party's liberal faction led by Enzo Bianco.[10][11][12][13][14] As a result, Team A became an associate party of the PD.

In 2018, Artioli finally left the politics.[15]
