The Swiss Democrats (German: Schweizer Demokraten; French: Démocrates Suisses; Italian: Democratici Svizzeri; Romansh: Democrats Svizers) is a right-wing (some say far-right) political party in Switzerland. At the last legislative elections, 19 October 2003, the party won 1.0% of the popular vote and 1 out of 200 seats. Many of the party's members are former Swiss People's Party members that are disappointed about the light neoliberal swing in the SVP.
The Swiss Democrats favour rapid Swiss withdrawal from all international treaties and organisations. They also support a controlled decrease in immigration. The party also supports conservative family values such as women staying home, taking care of children and men earning money for the family.
