SO is finished. We'll apparently have to wait for the federal bureau to release the %, but the seats are as follows:
22 (-6) FDP 21 (+3) SVP 20 ( 0) CVP 20 (-3) SPS 10 (+3) GPS 06 (+3) GLP 01 ( 0) EVP
Obviously SPS lost (mainly) to GPS and FDP at the same time (mainly) to SVP and GLP.

VS hasn't been able to publish the %-totals (despite very similar lists in most districts) - but can this ever stop us?: In german, rural&remote UpperV. GPS ran together with SPS.

The NE-ministers are counted and it looks like the left dominating the governments of all purely French cantons will only last until the RunOff on May 8th: For parliament PLR/FDP is at 36%, far ahead of the PSS/SPS (18.6%) and PVS/GPS (15%); UDC/SVP, which suffered several defections, below 10%, the leftextreme POP at 6% and behind PLV/GLP (GreenLib.); Centre (ex-PDC/CVP) 4%. But the big towns are missing.

With NE's new elec.system the SeatShare has been unknown by the public for hours. But now it's out:
100(-15) total
32 (-11) Lib.&Rad. 21 (-11) Soc. 19 ( +2) Greens 08 ( +4) GreenLib. 08 ( +2) POP (=LeftExtr.1) 08 ( -1) UDC (=SVP) 04 ( +2) TheMid (ex PDC/CVP & BDP) 00 ( -2) Solid. (=LeftExtr.2)
48 for the left camp, a majority of 56 together with the GreenLiberals (who are in NE more in the bourgeois bloc, though). Last legislature the parliament lost its midright majority, when a UDC/SVP-member switched to TheGreens (!!!). Given 3 or 4 defections in the last 4 years and that before their minister Perrin had stepped down suffering HealthProblems, the Blocher-party survived better than expected by me.

If we count the GreenLiberals as nonLeft, no changes between the 2 blocs happened. But at least nationally the GLP is increasingly in the left camp (all: its politicians, PartyMembers, voters).

The Ticino had local elections. The results in the urban centres will not be known before today/tomorrow (or even TuesDay!). Unclear is, who gained/lost traction (also caused by lots of joint lists). Clear is, that PLR/FDP (and LegaT. & UDC/SVP) defended even in the more populous towns - Lugano (60k, LT-fortress), Bellinzona (40k), Locarno (15k), Mendrisio (15k), Chiasso, Minusio - their 50-60% majorities.

In the RunOff for 2 ministers in canton Solothurn CVP failed to defend both seats, only 1 was saved. Instead a second Liberal was narrowly elected. Total number:
2 FDP (+1) 1 CVP (-1) 1 GPS 1 SPS

Today was the RunOff for the 5 ministers of canton Neuchatel. The list - in NE not candidates directly, but PartyLists get elected - of PLR/FDP regained its majority of 3 they had lost to the Socialists 8 years ago (after a very chaotic term). The Socialists&Greens had a joint list, the 2 PS-candidates were elected, the Greeny not: What means, that RedGreen won't have any longer majorities in all cantonal governments of French CH.

Fribourg/Freiburg - last spring the town, this time the canton as a whole - will elect parliament&government tomorrow.
The canton is usually praised/decried for being “so rural” and “so catholic (once)”. Less well-known is, that the canton was for centuries run by its capital – no city, but a formidable town - and was the earliest one, where an enclosed patriciate – the “bourgois secrets” – was formed. Since 1492 all these (sub)alpine towns had – despite being far away from being deprived - fallen into some sleep and the horizon was more limited than that of the peperzaks and this was in Freiburg even worse than in Bern or Basle. When those liberal republics were replaced by democracies (in the Jackson-years around 1830), the old liberal patriciate sided against the Democrats/Radicals with the Catholic&Conservative aristocrats&farmers (similar to Germany’s CentreParty, which hosted also not few liberals and regionalists alienated by the methods of v.BISMARCK) and exactly the Democrats’ democratization brought this alliance back into power few years later (similar to Turkey these days). Thus, FR participated 1846 on the side of the catholic&federalistic SonderBund (CH’s version of the ConFederates), lost and had to endure a “ReConstruction”. But as in the USA the second democratization brought the Cath.Cons. back into control. And in those days a lot of cath.&cons. specialities were tolerated by the federal Democratic governments, what would be today unthinkable. Fribourg had – contrary to all of its neighbours (Bern&Vaud, NeuChatel) - not taken over the Reformation and was as a result not only less cleanly than the selfrighteous Calvinists, but also now and again flooded by Catholic refugees: From St. P.CANISIUS (one of the most important Jesuits & CounterReformators) to those of Jacobinism, Hitlerism, Communism. Thus, when the plans to erect a Cath. university in my Salzburg failed, G.Python - who was leading the canton’s EducationDep. for over 40 (!) years - established a university, which is public, but partly financed by CH’s bishops. This ambitious&prestigious institution with reputable Catholic lecturers like G.v.REYNOLD and Python’s WelfarePrograms and “nationalizations” (=cantonalizations) of companies burdened a poor canton, which was&is per se settled – like the Aargau - between the big economies of Lausanne & Bern and where the old alliance of Cath.&Cons. and Liberals was since the late XIXth joined by the Radicals/DemoCrats in their fear of a SocialismSurge by industrialization. Yet, as FR is generally not encapsulated in the Alps like InnerCH the secularization began earlier and the collapse of the Church since Vaticanum II buried finally those old dreams of a “Catholic Republic” (a la Quebec, just with more intellectuality). Industry came with the RailWay (~1870ies), firstly mainly for food&wood. The economy has been diversifying, although in the public (self)image it is still “very rural” (albeit AgriCulture employing these days not more the usual 2% of the population). The capital had once in its lower area a proletariat, whose quartiers were perceived as one of the most deprived in CH, but on the other hand those were some kinds of “aristo-proles” (a la Cologne): Having a distinct identity, even their own MishMash of French&German. Apropos: The town Freiburg im ÜechtLand was once German-speaking, nowadays it’s 80%:20% and different to the university the town has no ambition to be biLingual. The university with its emphasis first on TheoLogy, then on Humanities, nowadays added by Technics/NatureSciences, hosts 10.000 students and 2.000 employees in a town of 40.000, so Fribourg is - a la OxBridge or Germany’s Tübingen/Marburg/Göttingen – dominated by this sector (unique in CH). It (has) had a reputation of being less progressistic than others, at least in TheoLogy, but as it is these days it’s certainly a major motor for the city’s & canton’s shift to the left. Another reason is, that while the canton’s perCentage of the Swiss population fell from over 4% (C’1888) to under 3% (C’1960&1970) its share has been increasing since then and recently FR has had the largest growth within CH. Mostly in the west, i.e. by commuters to Lausanne (once again similar to Aargau, the canton should - from a planning point of view - be dissolved...), who are attracted by the low prices of houses/flats (&taxes). Meaning, that the FrenchSpeakers widen their 2/3-majority, what will surely hurt SVP. A small support for SPS has been, that their exPartyPresident Levrat and his buddy, federal minister Berset (Welfare&Health), come from this canton. The last cantonal election was held in 2016, so still overshadowed by the ImmigrantFloods of summer 2015, what explains the quite good results for the (mid)right. So, the trends and the exceptional condition of last time make it very plausible, that the (mid)left will receive drastic gains tomorrow.
