Before the second round of elections this Sunday, the Bernese SP has deposed party Secretary, via Twitter, a warning: the Left, the President of the Council of States, Hans Stöckli not give your voice, he wrote, mutatis mutandis, would, in fact, select the SVP candidates. A candidate that is against equal pay, against real-time Parents and against the Expansion of the family-additional childcare was.
Hans Stöckli has achieved in the first ballot, the best result of all five of the ten Candidates. Nevertheless, one looks forward to in the Bernese SP the second concern: The 67-Year-old is some to old and to long in office. But most of all he seems to be “too tight man”, as in the case of the green liberal party was, as they discussed their choice of recommendations.
in any case, the SP heard the party Secretary of women, they wanted to give the second ballot, only one woman, your vote: the green party of the President Regula Rytz. But many Rytz/Leerein, lack Stöckli the votes to beat the SVP-man.
Equal opportunities for men
In an Interview with the “Bund” had to Stöckli outright justification, that he wants to lead as a man, his work in the Council of States further: If one wanted to gainsay the office, just because he was a man, then he had to remember that equal opportunities also applies to men, he said. “I can’t run as a woman.”

no one had before the elections of 20. October expected that the Wind changes so quickly and so sharply. The women are outdated in terms of the numbers of the men’s lists on the election, and the election result surprised: 27 men but only 4 women have not been confirmed in office. With the result that 84 women were elected to the national Council, and their share of 33.5 on the front hand, 42 per cent and this rises.
the highest proportion of women in the fractions of SP and Greens. In the SP you have with 64.1 percent, almost a two-thirds majority, with the Greens, they are not removed with 60.7 per cent far from. You will shape the image of their groups is now relevant.
The Lucky ones are panaschiert
Dramatically the choice was for the SP-men in the Canton of Bern: Three Previous stand for re-election for the national Council, but only one has been re-elected: Matthias Aebischer. A Previous lost his seat to the Greens, one to a woman. “The woman’s list has pulled out of this year”, says Ueli Egger, Co-President of the Bernese SP. In the city of Bern, the Woman had reached a vote share of 18 per cent., while the men’s list right crash going. Egger has repeatedly heard from friends, that you put a sign and the woman wanted to insert the list. A man is lucky, he was panaschiert to the women over.

a Particularly bitter was the opt out for trade unionists Corrado Pardini. He helped in the young candidate and the former Juso President Tamara Funiciello on his election poster took, lost his seat promptly to you. After the election, Pardini analysed that in the year of the Frauenstreiksfür left men had been impossible to apply your own list. The Co-President Egger looks so: “The women on the list have supported each other and have occurred in joint events. We men have not done that.” Not least because you can be interpreted as the misogynist would have.
In the Canton of Zurich were not elected with Thomas hardegger and Martin Naef also two Previous; the delegates had assigned to the women earlier, much better places on the list and Naef, a New set – which was promptly elected in his place.
“equality has a price some men must pay. Now I’m one of them.”Philipp Hadorn
Not all of the wear is voted out with such a version as the solo Thurner, Philipp Hadorn. It is clear to him, that he on 20. October was voted out of office because of his sex. “In the current political climate, it is not an advantage but a clear disadvantage to be a man.” Nevertheless, he says: “equality has a price some men must pay. Now I’m one of them.” A statement, which is quoted under Enjoyed with the utmost respect.
There is no men’s protection
In Zurich is in need of, however, among men, the demand is loud, you don’t need to discuss about the nomination process. “We must also carry the men,” says a prominent party member. With name lost, no one wants kidney – from fear, respond strongly to the Expo. Indeed, for some women is not good, if the men in question: national councillor Priska Seiler about says, she could hardly believe that this question was seriously meant.
“In fact, we are in favour of parity.”Andreas Daurù, Co-President, SP-Zurich
Must not bear the SP to their men, in fact, more concern, in order to avert frustration of the party? Or you never join? Because, actually, half means equality-and-half. “In fact, we are in favour of parity,” says Andreas Daurù, Co-President of the Zürcher SP. You must not be implemented exactly. Only if the proportion of women increases more sharply, should the party “may consider” as the men are coming increasingly to the train. However, from this point it was still far away.
The deselected Philipp Hadorn does not exclude the possibility that the SP for young, aspiring men will be less attractive if the Trend continues. “But men who want to make only a career, I would not mourn.” A “men’s protection” don’t need it. Equality was not so long in the wrong position, since it is after a successful woman, an election year for a long time for corrections.
in fact, many men have experienced in the SP that you had to plug back in favor of a woman, as well as Beat Jans, Vice-President of the SP Switzerland, says. Through the phone you hear it Rattle and Knock – Jans has its father’s day and on the boil. He sees no need for immediate action. “I can well imagine that this is sometime of alone.” When a choice list is balanced, specific, ultimately, the voters, who get a mandate and who does not. And in the year of the woman strikes which women have updraft.
