| Description | The Swiss Democrats (German: Schweizer Demokraten; French: Démocrates Suisses; Italian: Democratici Svizzeri; Romansh: Democrats Svizers) are a right-wing political party in Switzerland. The party is not represented in the Federal Assembly, but has two members of the Grand Council of Aargau.
In the 2003 federal elections, the party won 1.0% of the vote and 1 out of 200 seats in the National Council. This seat was lost in the 2007 elections, where the SD fell to 0.5% of the popular vote. After their severe election loss, the party congress decided not to disband but to continue competing in elections, striving to return to parliament.
The Swiss Democrats favour Switzerland's rapid withdrawal from all international treaties and organizations. They also support a controlled decrease in immigration. The party also supports conservative family values and environmental policies, supporting almost every green initiatives since the beginning of the years 2000, drastically distancing itself from the other somewhat similar small former parliamentary party, the Freedom Party of Switzerland.
