How happy are you with the outcome of the Swiss elections?

I manage a multilingual team responsible for covering the Swiss Abroad, providing them with the information they need to participate in political life in Switzerland. After studying political science in Neuchâtel and Bern, I started out in multimedia journalism at SwissTXT and RTS. Since 2008, I've been working at SWI swissinfo.ch, where I've held various journalistic and management positions.

The Swiss People’s Party was the big winner in the parliamentary elections of October 22. Grabbing 28.9% of the vote, the right-wing party further consolidated its status as the country’s leading political force.

On the other hand, environmental parties took a hit while the Social Democrats and the centre-right remained relatively stable.

How do you assess these results? Is the political situation the same where you live? We’d love to hear from you!
