Who steers?

Who sits in parliament today, which recommendations the parties have decided for the next votes, and how their strength has changed in National Council elections.

The Federal Assembly today

All members of the National Council and the Council of States by parliamentary group, as of the last data download.

Groups are ordered by their number of seats in each council, the largest on the left; members without a group come last. This order says nothing about political positions: the data used contains no seating plan.
