The Portuguese legislative election of 1985 took place on 6 October. In June of the same year the former Prime-Minister Mário Soares had resigned from the job due to the lack of parliamentary support the government was composed by a coalition of the two major parties the center-right Social Democratic and the center-left Socialist in what was called the Central Bloc however this was an unstable balance of forces and several members of each party opposed such alliance.
