Re: Women in Politics: The Swiss Government (4.00 / 2)

In such situations, two outcomes are possible. One is losing voters and disintegrating. The other is that the now uniformised rest-party is more focused than ever, and builds new local organisations that are 100% loyal.

In Austria, IIRC Haider did something similar with the Salzburg branch, which played out acording the second option, but later kicked his own party, which played out according to the first option.

Wat do the latest polls show, BTW?

Wat do the latest polls show, BTW?

The only poll on Widmer, I could find, was the one I shown in the dairy, seems also to be the most recent one. The only other poll, is just one by a newspaper - baz.ch - Basler Zeitung Online

Hat Bundesrätin Widmer-Schlumpf noch Platz in der SVP?

But I think, this is again a poll of the general public and was taken early April. I do not really know who decides inside the SVP. Are these the regular party members or are these the board-members of the cantonal section. And could not find an SVP internal poll.

Oh, sorry, I did not mean such a specific poll! Just a party poll, i.e. if any damage to the SVP is visible now.

Re: Women in Politics: The Swiss Government (none / 1)

No, I haven't seen any internal party polls and my guess is, if they made one, they probably not going to publish it, especially if it should be negative.

Re: Women in Politics: The Swiss Government (4.00 / 2)

Still I failed to communicate it right. No, I mean is the simplest party choice poll, e.g. what is also called Sonntagsfrage in Germany at least.

Re: Women in Politics: The Swiss Government (none / 1)

I never heard of the Sonntagsfrage before. Maybe thats the inconvenience of not having a tv. But I think I found what you were asking for. At least I hope so. :-) Sonntagsfrage | Mitmachen | www.sonntagonline.ch

Hat die SVP recht mit ihrem Vorgehen gegen Eveline Widmer-Schlumpf?

Re: Women in Politics: The Swiss Government (none / 1)

No, Sonntagsfrage for Germans is Sonntagsfrage because the question they ask is, "What party would you vote for would there be elections next Sunday?"

Re: Women in Politics: The Swiss Government (none / 1)

Oh, so it is always the same question?

Re: Women in Politics: The Swiss Government (4.00 / 2)

Yes, I mean the simple party preference polls.

I tried to find a Swiss one on several occasions, but no luck. There was a series of polls called SRG-Wahlbarometer, but only before the elections.
