history

Two parties dominated politics at canton level until around 1990 - the “reds” (conservatives) and the “blacks” (liberals). Some politicians belonged to the center party «Liberal Conservatives». The Social Democrats joined them in the late 19th century. Other parties also tried to win seats on the government council. The Democrats (a split from the left wing of the Liberals), the Grütliverein (Grütlians, also Social Democratic People's Party), independent Christian-Social (in elections usually a workers' wing within the Conservatives) and the state ring of the independents . In the last few decades the Marxist-oriented POCH and later the Green Alliance Lucerne tried unsuccessfully .

In addition to the two traditional parties, only the Christian Socialists, Social Democrats, the Swiss People's Party and non-party members have been able to join the government council.

Government councils

Note: The high number of government councilors in 1847 is due to political circumstances. At that time there was a war against the Sonderbund . The federal troops marched against Lucerne, which was in charge of the Sonderbund. On the night of November 23rd to 24th, 1847, a large part of the government fled to the canton of Uri. In order to avoid a political vacuum, the (mostly) liberal city council, with the participation of some personalities from the countryside, declared itself the provisional government of the Canton of Lucerne. It was not until 1848 that there was a legally elected government again.
