Since 2010, young men and women in Switzerland have moved apart politically at an accelerated pace, according to a Sotomo poll run on behalf of the newspaper NZZ am Sonntag, reported RTS. Switzerland’s young female voters have shifted left while young male voters have shifted right. Since 2010, the percentage of women aged 18 – 29 describing themselves as politically left has risen from 35% to 52%. Switzerland’s political gender divide is not confined to the young. These include the Responsible Business Initiative – 57% women voted yes while only 43% of men voted yes – and the free trade agreement with Indonesia – only 43% women voted yes while 60% of men did.
