  1. Liberals loosing ground over time is a bit sad. I foresee a future with a red band and a dark green band and very little else. USA-style tribalism with no nuances anymore.

  2. Nice one! Just an addendum: until 1919, all elections were in Majorz, meaning block voting, and often done under voter suppression tactics. So you see a big shift when proportional representation is introduced in 1919.

  3. TIL that the FDP could hold 7 member of the Federal Council without 90% of voters. Anyone knows why that was the case?

  4. Thank you for the details!

    And thank you especially for not doing it like one of those boring racing bar charts! So much easier to parse this way
