List of the digital resources of the Swiss parties.

A note on the national vs cantonal distinction: since only the canton of Ticino is Italian-speaking (apart from a few valleys in Graubünden), there often are no separate Italian resources on the national level. In those cases, the corresponding pages for the Ticinese party are instead included at the top level of the sections. If there are however Italian national sites, the Ticinese ones are in the canton subsection.

Parties are sorted here by their German name if the party exists in the German part of Switzerland, or by the local name for regional parties. The page is further split into parties that exist in two or more cantons and those that are specific to one canton or even smaller regions.

Cantonal or smaller parties

Christlichsoziale Partei Obwalden (CSP Obwalden)

This party is not connected to the national CSP party anymore.

Christlichsoziale Volkspartei Oberwallis (CSP Oberwallis)

Unrelated to the national CSP party. Might be a section of the Wallis chapter of the CVP party, but that is unclear.

Lega dei Ticinesi (Lega)

Mouvement Citoyens Genevois (MCG), Romand (MCR), and Suisse (MCS)

Technically, MCS and MCR are national and regional parties, respectively. However, they're listed in this section because only the MCG in the canton of Genève is politically relevant.
