Swiss Democrats

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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. In the 2003 federal elections, the party won 1.0% of the popular vote and 1 out of 200 seats. This seat was lost in the 2007 elections, where the SD fell to 0.5% of the popular vote. After their severe election loss, the party congress decided not to disband but to continue competing in elections, striving to return to parliament.[1]

[edit] Policy Outline

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.
