    As a non-Swiss person, what is the political landscape vis a vis a coalition government that cuts the far-right party out? Is that even feasible, or are they going to be a part of the majority?

      Think about it like this: in the US the Democrats and Republicans are already coalitions because different Democrats and Republicans have different focuses. How ever I will say this in a multiple party system, it’s possible either side could end up with more or less votes than they currently do. The 12 maga reps would probably have no power, but as for the rest of the party that can’t be said

        Oh, I know about parliamentary coalition/joint governments or whatever they’re called. I’m also aware that federal politics are generally somewhat less important than local politics as a result of how the government is laid out and the canton system. I was just wondering if they’re considered pariahs, or if they get some decision-making power simply because they got the largest share of votes. From some other comments I’ve seen, it sounds like the latter… which is a bit unfortunate.

          I think in the case of local votes a lot more people unfortunately would value pro-business than anything else. I would expect extremes of both sides to have no votes and a bunch of Biden likes to have power and no change from the average USA election cycle

            While I appreciate your intent, I’m looking for a response from someone who can offer more than simple speculation.

              I get that but frankly no one is going to be able to give you a certainty. The US is different than other multi party systems. If anyone says they know what would happen they are lying

                More pointedly: I was hoping for a reply from someone intimately familiar with Swiss politics instead of speculation from non-Swiss people, and I’m pretty sure we’re both non-Swiss.
