In Geneve Red&Green have been unsurprisingly reelected (but with new faces).
In Vaud the FDP came in first (to my surprise) and the GREENS replaced - as in NE - the SPS.
Losing VD is horrible for SPS, who have dominated the canton recently; losing the (ex)catholic fortress FR would be for CVP.

15 19
CVP 12 11
FDP 8 9
SP 7 5
GPS 1 4
SVP 4 3
Ind 1 1
---------
33 33
I did come across a number of 'word games' triggered by the delay as it is called in French, which also then made me recall those witnessed while following the adventures of Pierre Maudet in Geneva. I wouldn't currently exclude the possibility that the inclination could be a more general trait in Romandy. |

As Your tables show very well, the GPS is - after winning 1 seat surprisingly from SVP in Glarus and 2 from SPS in Neuchatel (also unexpected) plus today in Vaud (more expectable) - also in the small chamber at one level with SPS (and SVP) now. SPS-president Levrat, who was reelected today, is likely to resign, by the way. I think SPS is a little bit clueless, how to react to the green rivals. |

There won't be a recount after all in Fribourg. Despite the PDC/CVP having announced on Sunday that they would be asking for one 'during the first hour of Monday' (there's your ghostly recount), they have decided 'after lengthy discussion not to sue for it'. Beforehand the Fribourg chancellery had declared on Monday that the count had been checked, that the law doesn't provide for a recount, and that hence the announced result was to be final, leaving judicial recourse as the only possible option. And that the problem concerned the transmission of the results rather than the count itself. The next PDC/CVP stance was that party board would decide on Thursday on whether to appeal, but they ended up instead with a statement on today's high noon. - we acknowledge the result in order not to add to the damage.
- the inadmissible bungling of the Chancellery casts discredit on this election and seriously damages the image of our canton.
- we won't forget that possibly the result may not correspond to the reality and ask for concrete measures to be implemented to prevent any reoccurrence of such chaotic events.
24 heures - Le PDC ne recourra pas au Tribunal cantonalSRF - Freiburger CVP verzichtet auf NachzählungOne can guess that the info available to the PDC/CVP did reinforce the take of the chancellery. |

RunOffs for the small chamber can be followed for example here: srf.ch/news/schweiz/wahlen-2019/staenderatswahlen-in-6-kantonen-zanetti-kommt-bei-den-solothurnern-gut-anIn St.Gallen the incumbents (CVP and SPS) are quasi reelected, SVP failed once again. In Solothurn SPS defended its seat against SVP. In Ticino, though, the sensation seems to be perfect and the SVP-man has stormed onto the top (replacing the retiring FDP-incumbent), the powerful CVP-inc. is only minimally ahead of SPS. In Bern only few cons. areas are counted, but SVP did quite well there. |

Wasn't it since 2011? (By the way: Very classical, that the party defending Swissism does best in the canton Schwyz...) |

The final result for Schwyz gives the seat indeed to CVP. Not really surprising.
In Basel-Landschaft the GPS-woman is ahead of the FDP-one and should prevail finally. She'll replace a SPS-man. Generally BL is "bourgeois" (=[mid]right), also in the sense of being strongly suburbian; meaning, that this gain is a small, but important sign of the SubUrbs shifting away from MidRight towards MidLeft?
In Aargau, which doesn't have a huge city (rather commuters to Zurich or Basel or Bern) FDP seems to hold its seat, while SVP seems to replace the retired SPS-woman (from her party's right wing). A success for the Blocher-party.

Wasn't it since 2011? (By the way: Very classical, that the party defending Swissism does best in the canton Schwyz...) It was indeed. The last result for the second chamber comes from the canton of Basel-Landschaft where a Green did win against an FDP candidate, after the FDP and the SVP had taken the Argovia seats. Which yields the following composition for the new Council of States:
15 19
CVP 13 13 -FR -TI +SG +SZ
FDP 13 12 -SG -TI +FR
SP 12 9 -AG -BL -VD -BL +TI
SVP 5 6 -GL -SZ +AG +BE +TI
GPS 1 5 +BL +GL +NE +VD
Ind 1 1
BDP 1 - -BE
---------
46 46
PS: 4 women and one man were elected for the Greens. |

The new Federal Council in Switzerland was elected yesterday by the Federal Assembly which comprises the members of both chambers of parliament. One absent each from the BDP and the FDP resulted in an electorate of 244. All the sitting members of the Federal Council were re-elected with the following results, with the votes held by order of seniority.
213 SVP Ueli Maurer
192 SP Simonetta Sommaruga
214 SP Alain Berset
191 SVP Guy Parmelin
145 FDP Ignazio Cassis
218 CVP Viola Amherd
169 FDP Karin Keller-Sutter
Regula Rytz from the Greens did contest the seat of Ignazio Cassis obtaining 82 votes. There were 6 white ballots and 11 votes for other candidates. While the SP group supported her candidature and the GLP did opt for an open vote, the other groups supported the sitting member. The other FDP candidate had 21 write-in votes for another FDP politician against her, one invalid, and 37 white votes. The former came from the SVP amid grumblings on her political stances, while the latter were expressions of protest against the second FDP seat according to the NZZ. Parliamentary groups in the Swiss Federal Assembly:
Fraktion der Schweizerischen Volkspartei 62 -11 | 59 SVP, 1 Lega, 1 EDU, 1 other
Sozialdemokratische Fraktion 48 -7 | 48 SP
Mitte-Fraktion. CVP-EVP-BDP. 44 -5 | 38 CVP, 3 EPP, 3 BDP
FDP-Liberale Fraktion 41 +1 | 41 FDP
Grüne Fraktion 35 +22 | 33 GPS, 1 PdA, 1 EàG
Grünliberale Fraktion 16 +9 | 16 GLP
BDP - -8
MCG - -1

 Remarkable, that the party of Blocher, who is not the youngest anymore, is closer to Tories and the GOP than to other xenophobic parties on the continent, which get elected mainly by working men in the MiddleAges (so the backbone of the economy sive "the deplorable"...). |
