Apropos referendum: The GREENS-youth will bring up one against the OverFlow of the towns into the CountrySide (a huge problem in Swiss MittelLand), with some sublime support from conservative&rural SVP-clients. Support has been declining from first to third wave of polling, though:  The referendum failed, as expected. Not a single canton supported it, 63.7% NO (37.4% TurnOut). Rather narrow OutComes in urban cantons like Geneva, BaselCity, Schaffhausen, Neuenburg; but also in Ticino. The government of Appenzell-Ausserrhoden was elected, too: 5 candidates for 5 seats - no change in distribution (2 FDP, 1 SVP, 1 SPS, 1 PartyFree [who was elected PM unopposed]). |

A poll, how the minister-candidates would perform:  Supporters of FDP (and CVP) back the prominent&controversial SVP-woman quite strongly:  ...while - contrary to normal elections - many SVP-voters aren't impressed by the FDP-man:   A new poll for the GovernmentElection in the canton of Zurich is out, once again conducted by SOTOMO:  Sotomo asked ~4.200 Readers online and weighted the data. So, roughly the same result by the same Institute. |

AppenzellAusserrhoden - one of CH's smallest cantons - is electing the parliament today.
Results are expected for 17.00 MET, but be warned: The canton elects traditionally lots of independents, who decide later (at the first meeting), which faction they belong to.
If i remember correctly, a minister in Vaud (so far PS) will be crowned, too.

In AppenzellAusserrhoden SVP has suffered some losses so far; yet, the capital Herisau is still not counted, also not Bühler.
Already clear is, that in both municipalities the SVP-mayors lost to Independents.

In Vaud the female SPS-candidate received 47%, the SVP-man 38%, CVP 6%, 2 leftextreme nominees 7%. Should be clear in the RunOff. RedGreen have since 2011 a majority in the cantonal government (1GPS:3SPS:3FDP), FDP&SVP will have failed in their third attempt to win it back.

AppenzellAusserrhoden:
65 seats:
24 (+1) FDP
20 (+4) Independents
09 (+0) SPS
07 ( -5) SVP
03 ( -1) CVP
02 (+1) EVP
Only the capital Herisau with its 19 seats uses a more proportional system, what makes the percentage-numbers problematic.

That's a lot of cantonal MPs to represent just 55,000 people!

These areas in canton Zurich will be crucial for the small parties (only 5% in 1 of 16 [?] ElectoralUnits is required):  Especially CVP doesn't have StrongHolds any longer. |

In Vaud the female SPS-candidate received 47%, the SVP-man 38%, CVP 6%, 2 leftextreme nominees 7%. Should be clear in the RunOff. RedGreen have since 2011 a majority in the cantonal government (1GPS:3SPS:3FDP), FDP&SVP will have failed in their third attempt to win it back. The SVP-man (and the candidates of CVP and POP) stepped down, so the SPS-woman is unopposed and thus elected "silently". Hard for SVP: As a centrist FarmerParty they have had a minister in Vaud for decades (based on WineGrowers and other farmers), the only one in French CH. Additionally 1 of their 2 FederalMinisters is exactly a WineGrower from Vaud (Parmelin) - yet, their brand remains too toxic for the French FDP-voters. And also Aargau adds difficulties for the Blocher-party: They won 2/5 ministers last time, quite a success, but the NewComer - a female judge - had to take the Social&Health-department and struggles there (SVP has even threatened to expel her). And a federal MP for SVP from Aargau has behaved strangely. (He bought drugs, apparently not for private use, but for demonstrating, how easy that is; he brought a coffer with CounterFeit-money into parliament.) |

There are just 4 Christian Democrats left in the 121 seated Zürich city council after the 2018 vote, down from 16 in 2009. Compared to 7 out of 27 in Luxembourg City...
The 30 green coloured have become the largest 'conservative' block.

Canton Zurich, 129/176 municipalities counted:
25.6 = 47 ( -7) SVP
18.9 = 34 ( -2) SPS
15.7 = 29 ( -2) FDP
12.5 = 23 (+10) GPS
12.1 = 22 (+8) GLP
04.8 = 09 (+1) EVP
04.4 = 08 ( -1) CVP
02.5 = 05 (+0) EDU
01.8 = 03 ( -2) AL
01.7 = 00 ( -5) BDP
I personally expected "strong" (for CH) gains&losses, but not this EarthQuake!
While we Austrians had an extremely cold winter, CH suffered under an extremely hot one (after a hot summer too much for many, obviously).
For the government the GPS-candidate - a widely unknown infantile IT-expert - is already now ahead of the FDP-man, so FDP will be reduced to 1 minister for the first time and SVP&FDP will depend on the CVP-woman (new formula: 2 SPS, 1 GPS; 1 CVP, 1 FDP, 2 SVP).

Concerning the cantonal government the FDP-NewComer could pass the SVP-NewComer finally. The GPS-one is safe on the 5th place.
It'll be the first time (except 1991-1996), that FDP&SVP won't have 4 or more of the 7 ministers.
In the parliament even the full "BourgeoisBloc" (=SVP&FDP&CVP) won't achieve a majority with EDU (cons.Calvinists). The rather left-"christian" EVP or the GreenLiberals will be decisive.
