The alternative - the Green Zug (ALG) is a left-wing ecological party in the canton of Zug (Switzerland). It was created in 2005 as an alternative canton of Zug through a merger of local groups. The largest of these groups was the Socialist Green Alternative Zug (SGA).
The SGA was founded in 1986 by members of the Socialist Workers' Party , non-party leftists and activists from the women's movement , the trade unions and other initiatives.
1990–2006 Hanspeter Uster was a member of the government council of the SGA . After the elections in October 2006, the alternative canton of Zug was represented in the Cantonal Council with twelve out of 79 seats and in the Government Council with two out of seven seats ( Manuela Weichelt-Picard and Patrick Cotti ). In October 2010, the alternative canton of Zug lost two seats each to the SVP and two to the Green Liberals, despite the same high percentage of voters as four years earlier . In addition, Patrick Cotti was voted out of office in favor of Stephan Schleiss (SVP). In the 2014 elections, the ALG increased from 7 to 10 seats in the Cantonal Council. Government councilor Weichelt was also re-elected in the new majority voting system. The ALG is represented in 5 municipalities in the municipal executive: Baar, Menzingen, Oberägeri, Steinhausen and the city of Zug (CSP city councilor Vroni Straub).
Between 2003 and 2011, the SGA or the alternative - the Green Zug, took one of the three Zug seats in the Swiss National Council with Josef Lang . Lang joined the Greens there from the start . Despite a high share of the vote of 17.1%, it was barely enough for re-election in 2012.
The alternative canton of Zug was appointed a full member of Green Switzerland at the assembly of delegates of the Greens on June 13, 2009 . Since then, the party has called itself Alternative - the Green Train . On November 5th, 2009, the Young Alternative Zug was founded as the Young Alternative Party - the Green Zug and the Zug section of Young Green Switzerland .
The ALG relies on fair tax and resource-saving economic policy for the benefit of a strong society and economy with a healthy state budget, good public service and protection of the landscape / environment.
