Center and SVP each won one seat. This means that the commoners are now in a wafer-thin majority.
The left-wing green and the bourgeoisie have so far remained balanced in Lucerne’s city parliament. Now the bourgeois forces are just in the majority: Center, FDP, SVP and Green Liberals now have 25 seats. The SP and the Greens only have 23 people.
The Center and SVP are gaining, the Greens are losing
The winning parties are the center and the SVP. They each won one seat. The GLP was able to keep its seats. The FDP loses a mandate.
The green parties have lost: the Young Greens and the parent party each lost one seat. The SP was able to keep its mandates, the Juso gains one.
Right-wing parliament, left-wing government?
This result contradicts the elections to the Lucerne city government. The Left has achieved success here: the previous SP mayor Beat Züsli was re-elected and the Green Party Korintha Bärtsch won the election straight away.
This means that only two out of five seats have been filled – but another SP woman is on the road to success for the remaining mandates. If she also makes the election, there would now be a left-wing majority in the city government and a bourgeois majority in the city parliament.
This would mean quite a deadlock between the government and parliament.
