Citizen urgency and parliament attention
Which areas the business items of members of parliament concern. Next to them: the areas of the proposals Agora users vote on.
Parliamentary business per area
Share of the 8,496 business items submitted by current members of parliament since 4 December 2023
Votara calculation. The Parliamentary Services tag every business item with one or more subjects; Votara assigns each subject to at most one area. An item that touches several areas is split equally between them.
Counted: motions, postulates, interpellations, questions and parliamentary initiatives whose author is a current member, each item counting the same. Not counted: debate time, Federal Council business, and items by committees, parliamentary groups or cantons.
The Agora has fewer than 50 daily votes so far. Votara shows Agora shares only from 50 votes per area.
Agora votes are not representative of the population.
Of 8,496 business items submitted by current members of parliament, the largest shares concern Economy & SMEs (17.3%), Population & environment (16.9%) and Health (12.6%). 3.6% concern no area of the problem tree.
