For the Bernese SP-national councils the elections, a bitter end: All three were taken, two of them were voted out of office. Unlike the women, the men had advertised their list and had not occurred together on the choice of events – it can be as misogynist designed to be. “A disaster,” commented the only re-elected the result. Not so bad on the other hand, the other Left, if there is a man that loses because of sex the seat. This is the price of equality, mean it.
The SP is the first party in the national Council, which has managed the sexes on an equal footing: in 2015, the proportion of women exceeded that in their group for the first time, the 50-percent-Limit, and this with 58 percent. In this year’s elections, it increased thanks to the Defeated to 64 percent in the Green at 60 percent. For the first Time, the men are clearly in the minority.
in Particular, the social Democrats, that raises a question that has been in Switzerland, nor to any other party. To be preferred now men with the same qualifications? And should you be a man frustrated when he loses his seat to a woman?
women can
In the case of a party that has a commitment to equality, to dominate the answer should be obvious. In the case of the SP of the decades-rehearsed Reflex: women playing but still first. The equality has been so long in the wrong position, that you do not need to engage in even long, is it. And attributed it to the solo Thurner, Philipp Hadorn high, that he makes his seat the same position as the victim. A long time the men did not want to share Power. In particular, the bourgeois parties referred to them often enough on the rear seats. And did not the party colleagues, to often helped the electorate and highlighted the names of women systematically from the list; the women should look to their children, not politicize. So, the proportion of women was also in Federal Parliament before these elections never more than a third.
Therefore, may also dominate even the women in the left-wing groups and the policy and political style. The SP needs so no men’s protection, women protection, it does not need more at the Federal level, but also. The women are no longer dependent, as in the Canton of Bern, on a separate list, and, as in Zurich, the fact that it gives you the front box on the electoral list. They are strong enough. SP and Green have met in the Federal Parliament, the equality order.
Not nearly the bourgeois parties have met him, however. The free Democrats and politicize in the future, in the national Council as many women as in the SP of men: only a third. CVP and SVP have not achieved even in the case of this woman’s choice of this value.
they would have to themselves have the largest interest in mind that also in the case of issues that particularly affect women, not only left-wing solutions to be discussed, but also civil – the policy can be to the population only if the sexes are represented in all parties balanced. It is long overdue that the Bourgeois redeem the equality.
