Is Switzerland right-wing? (from my email)

Dear Tyler,

I came across this study today (https://serval.unil.ch/resource/serval:BIB_236420EB8209.P001/REF) that claims that Switzerland is one of the most right-wing (at least nominally) countries in Europe.The federal government has been in the hands of the right since 1848.The federal parliament is currently dominated by the right.26 out of 26 cantonal parliaments are controlled by the right.25 out of 26 canton governments (with the exception of the Jura) are in the hands of the right.Neither the parliament nor the national government has ever been controlled by the left.

How does it fit with your model of Switzerland?

Still an undeservedly overlooked country!

That is from Krzysztof Tyszka-Drozdowski.
