Even if Mitte and GLP had supported a Green Federal Council seat at the expense of the SP, the FDP’s support was still lacking, Trede said in an interview with “CH Media” headlines published Tuesday. In addition, her group had already decided not to attack any SP seats in this parliamentary term before Simonetta Sommaruga’s resignation announcement.
In any case, if a civil seat is on the brink. “Currently, the FDP and SVP right-wing bloc with 42 percent of voters in the Bundesrat has an absolute majority of four out of seven seats,” Trede said. That is not a concordance and a greater inequality than there would be two seats for the SP and one for the Greens.
If the ecological forces confirm their strength at the next election, this “discordance” would increase again. Then it’s up to the center or the FDP: “One of the two parties will have to go to the Greens to save their own seats,” Trede said.
