Swiss Democrats

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Swiss Democrats (German: Schweizer Demokraten; French: Démocrates Suisses; Italian: Democratici Svizzeri; Romansh: Democrats Svizers) are a right-wing (or, according to some analysts, far-right^{[citation needed]}) political party in Switzerland. In the 2003 federal elections, the party won 1.0% of the popular vote and 1 out of 200 seats. This seat was lost in the 2007 elections, where the SD fell to 0.5% of the popular vote. After their severe election loss, the party congress decided not to disband but to continue competing in elections, striving to return to parliament.

[edit] Policy Outline

The Swiss Democrats favour Switzerland's rapid withdrawal from all international treaties and organisations. They also support a controlled decrease in immigration. The party also supports conservative family values.
