BERN - The Greens made strong gains in Switzerland’s election on Sunday while the far-right party lost ground, early results showed, potentially putting environmentalists in the mix for a seat in the coalition that has governed the country for decades.
Changing just one member of the seven-seat cabinet would be a political sensation. The Greens have never had a seat in the four-party Federal Council. Switzerland’s system of direct democracy gives voters a final say on major issues decided by referenda, but Sunday’s results showed the green wave gripping Europe has reached Switzerland.
In December, the two parliamentary chambers will elect the government, but in the past it has taken more than one national election cycle for that selection procedure to change the cabinet lineup to more closely reflect the results.
