The 2015 Swiss elections: A landslide win for the right, despite limited changes in vote share
Switzerland held federal elections on 18 October, with the conservative Swiss People’s Party winning the largest share of the votes. Daniel Bochsler, Marlène Gerber and David Zumbach write that while the increase in vote share for the Swiss People’s Party was relatively limited, the party managed to significantly increase the number of seats it holds in Switzerland’s lower house of parliament, the National Council. Nevertheless, the party is unlikely to make substantial gains in the country’s upper house, the Senate, as it traditionally struggles under the two-round electoral system used in Senate elections
The party system of Serbia
Daniel Bochsler is a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Zurich. He received his PhD (2008) from the University of Geneva, where his dissertation was on electoral systems and party systems in 20 Central and Eastern European democracies, with a special focus on party nationalisation. His research is centered on the effect of political institutions, namely electoral systems and referendums. He has stayed at Universities in Tartu, Irvine (University of California), and Budapest (Central European University), and has conducted field research in Serbia
Why voters in emerging democracies are more reliable than we thought
Elections in new democracies such as those in Central and Eastern Europe are often expected to be volatile affairs, with sizeable shifts in support between parties from one election to another. But is this really a fair characterisation of how citizens of these states choose to use their vote? Presenting findings from a new study, Daniel Bochsler and Miriam Hänni write that the key to understanding voting behaviour in new democracies is to recognise the importance of economic performance. Citizens in younger democracies are more likely to relate the legitimacy of a government to the country’s economic performance, with this effect reducing as a democracy matures
