Liberal Party of Switzerland
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Liberal Party of Switzerland (German: Liberale Partei der Schweiz, French: Parti liberal suisse, Italian: Partito Liberale Svizzero) is a free market liberal party in Switzerland. The party is a member of Liberal International.
In the 2003 General Election they had a joint slate with the Free Democratic Party. They are very much the junior partner with only 2.2% of the vote compared with the FDP's 17.3%. But in their strongholds, the protestant Cantons of french-speaking Switzerland and the Canton of Basel-City they got up to 16.8 percent (Geneva).
In 2003, it holds 4 mandates (out of 200) in the Swiss National Council (first chamber of the Swiss parliament). It was neither represented in the second chamber nor in the Swiss Federal Council (executive body). By 2005, it hold 3,7% of the seats in the Swiss Cantonal parliaments, 2,9% of the Cantonal government seats(index "BADAC", weighted with the population and number of seats).
After the federal election 2003 LPS and FDP founded a common group in the Federal Assembly. In June 2005 they strengthened their cooperation by founding Radical and Liberal Union [1] At the last legislative elections, 22 October 2007, the party won 1.8 % of the popular vote and 4 out of 200 seats.
