Canton Uri had toDay its runOff. SPS lost its sole minister, thus it will be a purely "bourgeois" government from now on. TheMid gained the seat and has as a result regained its overall majority in the cabinet (someTimes history seems to go backwards...): 3 seats for the parliament had to be filled: SVP won 2, the third one will be an Independent. With the election of a FDP-councillor into government a third round will take place in 1 elec.district, but the outCome shouldn't change anymore. It's a conservative canton anyway, correct? Generally: yes - Uri belongs to the once cath.&cons. InnerCH (and it is even in its inner part, so further away from the densily populated middleLand in the north (with Zurich aso.)). Cf. cantonal parliament: Federal lower chamber: - DeViations from CH-average: But then most of the canton is unsettled, thus the area around capital AltDorf (="OldVillage") is relatively densily and (pre/semi)urban. Additionally as a canton with several important trafficRoutes there is a railWay-junction - ErstFeld (="FirstField") - and as a result the canton has been one of the few red innerAlpine spots, cf. SPS-deViations for the lower chamber in innerSwiss cantons (Glarus is someTimes artificially high because the "bourgeois" parties left the sole NationalRat-seat unopposed over to SPS):

SPS&GPS have never run against each other in federal elections. Also in those for the cantonal parliament they have had a joint list (s. above). Under "+MischListen" the federal StatisticsOffice split the votes according to the extent preFerences were given either to SPS- or GPS-candidates (what left only those for Independents or none) - no perfect method, but the best-possible. And here we see, that both Green parties had their breakThrough just few weeks ago. Before that, Uri fit to its nickName as InnerCH's "The Sozi-Kanton": Firstly because of the mentioned factors - railWay, the "urban" capitalArea, also few (ex)factories along river Reuß. But as the german SPS' support among factoryWorkers was never overwhelming, compared to foreign counterParts: ...the second basis of SPS were certainly the teachers - before the rise of TheGreen(Liberal)s it was very much the party of teachers - or artisans or other outSiders lost in those valleys.

Lucerne, the name-giving capital of the canton with 85.000 inHabitants, had elections toDay. Government: Mayor ("CityPresident"): The town was once basically Clericals vs. AntiClericals, i.e. KVP->CVP vs. FDP, with SPS and others being little more than outSiders; but this has changed sharply.

Lucerne, council: 2020 SPS&GPS received 24/48 seats, this time 23. The GreenLiberals will as a conSequence be kingMakers (what they have de facto already been so far, of course).
