This is a good election result in Switzerland but it’s a multi-party system where all the major parties share power. SVP is no where near a majority.
SVP and and other center-right parties have the majority, and did already I think. Yet they still allow the socialists to be part of the government. I have to call fail on their system.
Fail indeed.
“SVP and and other center-right parties have the majority, and did already I think. Yet they still allow the socialists to be part of the government. I have to call fail on their system.”
By my count, the SVP and the other right-wing or center-right parties (FDP, CVP, BDP, Ticino League and MCG) won 135 out of 200 seats, which is a whopping 67.5%. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swiss_federal_election,_2015 Why the heck would the Socialists (who not only are overtly opposed to capitalism, but are in favor of joining the EU)have to be invited to the governing coalition? Let them suck wind in the opposition.
” Yet they still allow the socialists to be part of the government. I have to call fail on their system.”
Yes.
