List of political parties in Switzerland: Difference between revisions
Put composition bars in the ''members in'' section of the chart. Updated the amount of party members in the FC, CS, NC, C exec, and Ce leg. so that it mostly reflects the current amount of members as of 2023 according to the Federal Statistical Office (Switzerland), 2019 Swiss federal election, and special elections after 2019. There still needs to be some tweaking done. |

This article is part of a series on the |
Switzerland portal |
This is a list of political parties in Switzerland.
Switzerland has a multi-party system. Since 1959, the four largest parties have formed a coalition government, according to a Zauberformel or "magic formula". This arithmetic formula divides the seven cabinet seats among representatives of the four largest parties.[1]
Political parties in Switzerland[edit]
Federal and cantonal parliaments[edit]
The following parties are represented either in the Swiss Federal Assembly as of 2022 or in cantonal parliaments and executive councils as of 2021.[2] For their names in the four national languages of Switzerland, see #Names in the national languages below.
For more detailed information on the political positions of some of the parties listed below, see here:[3] For Swiss political party strength on the municipal level, see here:[4]
