Jura, none of the minister-candidates received the 50%-quorum necessary there (the RunOff will be on November 9th):

Aargau's commuter-streams (in 2000, so a little bit outdated):

If You wonder, that i didn't deliver a result for Jura's parliament: 2 municipalities near Delemont had "problems" yesterDay, thus a ReCount must take place toDay.

Would it be possible to put something on this that explains the colour scheme?  I can make some guesses  but I have no idea if I am right.  I am not sure what the three shades of green (for example) mean in party terms.

CH's youngest canton - Jura - will go to the polls tomorrow, too:

Well, maybe. It could be argued that the 1999 constitutional revision meant that what were previously half-cantons became 'cantons with half a cantonal vote'- meaning that Appenzello Interno, Appenzello Esterno, Basilea Città, Basilea Campagna, Nidvaldo and Obvaldo were the youngest cantons. But that would just be an argument on a point of pedantry- isn't that the best kind of argument?

Sorry - i thought, that only the usual CH-nerds would have a look here.
Turquois is - as mentioned - PCSI/CSP (left-[ex]Catholics), DarkGreen UDC/SVP (nat.cons.), green = Greens, LightGreen = GreenLiberals (~LeftLiberals). Orange = PDC/CVP ([ex]cath. ChristDem.), blue = PLR/FDP (RightLib.), red = PSS/SPS (Socialists).

De facto nothing was changed in 1999.

[Georg Ebner]

Canton Jura isn't able to publish the %, so we'll have to wait for the federal statistical bureau.
Seat(change)s:

02 0 CS-POP (FarLeft)
13 +1 PSS/SPS (Socialists)
07 +3 PVS/GPS (Greens)
06 -2 PCSI/CSP (left [ex]Catholics)
02 *2 GLP (GreenLiberals)
15 -2 PDC/CVP ([ex]cath. ChristDem.)
08 -1 PLR (Liberals)
07 -1 UDC/SVP (Nat.Cons.)

Out of 60 seats the left bloc will have 28 (+2), together with the GreenLiberals 30/60 (+4).

Aargau's major towns:

SPS&GPS (AG as a whole 22.6% - 26.0% - 26.6%):


SVP&FDP (AG as a whole 47.4% - 48.0% - 45.0%):

[Georg Ebner]

Local Elections took place in Valais/Wallis.

The Green Wave hit the French UnderValais (reducing the PDC/CVP-dominance once more), while in german and more rural&remote UpperValais not much changed, thus increasing the hiatus of both parts again.

Basel-City - once the town of ERAMUS & BURCKHARDT, nowadays of chemical/pharmaceutical industry - will be the last canton going to the polls this year.

Government (left women, right men):

[Georg Ebner]

The (petty)"bourgeois" parties - in fact the left ones are (petty)bourgeois as well, of course - try to replace the GPS-"CityPresident" (=mayor; a ceremonial role without much impact). While she has indeed been incapable to run her ministry properly, it is highly unlikely, that a GREENy will be deelected in the present climate. Usually these kind of attacks in left cities let rather the "woke"-crowd turn out increasingly. Also CVP, FDP and the Liberal(Democratic)Party/L(D)P (federally part of FDP; successor of the XIXth antidemocratic Liberals) are not even backed by SVP.

All Swiss cantons are exceptionally bizarre, other than Zurich, Vaud and Ticino. Which are at a recognisable scale of bizarre.

Do You mean by borders or by mentality or by politics or all?
Bern is perhaps the most natural one (except the French Jura and the northwestern border). Jura comes to my mind, too.

[Georg Ebner]

Basel-City (also a bizarre canton consisting of the city proper and 2 small villages):

Preliminary result (no idea, how much is counted), government (7 seats; GB=GPS):

"Government president":

The GreenLiberalP.-voters should break in favor of their GREENS-colleague, the scandal-hit GB/GPS-incumbent, despite all the negative news for her today. But it could be, that she cannot nevertheless remain in office as president, because she won't be elected into the government. Years ago i thought, that this rule could be a problem one day. Very bizarre.
