Great political map of🇨🇭! 👉N-S and E-W replaced by axes that sum up main differences in votes: liberal-conservative & links-right 👉Big cities look alike whatever the language 👉Jura closer to big cities than to other rural areas

2. This is fuggin’ confusing to political compass meme enjoyers, the north-south axis should be flipped :v

3. Guess it’s time to move to Küsnacht

4. r/titlegore

5. I knew Schaffhausen is the center that holds us together.

6. Yeah, I understand why Muotathal is where it is

7. Could someone help me out with the difference between Left/Liberal Right/Conservative? Is it economic vs. cultural?

   Also, is there a motivation for which specific settlements are labelled? I see 5 towns in Cantons Geneva and Ticino labelled but nothing in Vaud and Valais other than Lausanne and Sion. It also looks like the more extreme points are not labelled other than Unteriberg?

8. I don’t really think of Ticino as left-leaning, maybe time to update my preconceived notions.

9. How do you describe left conservatism?

10. bin ich blind oder fehlt winterthur?

11. Is this a map from the 1800s? Because Sion was indeed a majority German-speaking town back then, but it hasn’t been for the last 150 years at least.

    Also, no way Bern is further right than Geneva.

12. Ticino left? Where the largest party is the Ticino League? Even the mayor of Lugano is from the League. The top 3 parties in Ticino are all right/centre right: League/SVP, FDP, and CVP.

13. >tfw no leftist conservative area.
    Literally the only empty corner.

14. It’s an awesome plot. I love it. But as far I understand this dates from 2009, right? I would be careful in drawing conclusion from something that is more than 10 years old.

15. St. Gallen suprisingly good placed in the middle

16. The map implies that there is more to the south of Unteriberg. Is that even possible?

17. If you add your definition of Koservativ, Liberal, links und rechts and the colors it might even be usable.

18. Baden at 10′ conservative? Huumm

19. A map with colors and no key does not mean much.

20. What are the contour lines for?

21. Whats up in Unterliberg?

22. Guess I should move to Schaffhausen to as closely as possible match my location on the compass.

23. But where is Olten ?

24. Can’t find Zug

25. This seems weird, I can’t remember Zurich being south of Bern?

26. Interesting [NZZ article](https://www.nzz.ch/amp/ungenaues_bild_der_politischen_schweiz-ld.870683) about that map from Sotomo (University of Zurich). Looks like that map represents rather how the political orientation of Switzerland’s areas are perceived from a general point of view than based on hard facts. But it’s a great way to look at the political landscape from another angle. 😊👍🏽

27. This map is utterly crappy if it is missing the most basic thing for a map with a chromatic gradient which is a legend.

28. I’d be curious to see where Renens (VD) fits in this; I always heard it’s the leftmost city in the country, but always wondered how true that is.

29. Based left-liberal leaning centrist. 💪

30. I’m not surprised German cantons vaccinated less against COVID

31. how do I actually read this map? I mean i see colours but dont see what they could mean.

32. I’ve been thinking about it for a bit but I can’t really wrap my head around “Linkskonservativ”.

    Both are diametrically opposed at least in my worldview.

33. It’s awesome! I’ll share this with friends, thanks for the good work!

34. Nice that Emmenbronx also made it on to the map xD

35. I somewhat doubt that Oberwallis are LEFT leaning conservatives. On what data is this based on?

36. My brain hurts
