This page is the version of the visualizations for accredited persons.
Each parliamentary has the right to invite two people who can, for a limited time, access non public parts of parliament. This second visualization shows these people and the groups of interest they are affiliated to. As before, we have a pie chart showing the distribution of categories that each party’s invited people are related to.

This visualization allows us the understand the macro trends in party involvement in each lobby category. At the same time, we wished to see how invested a party was on one theme but also how it compared to their available workforce in parlement.
This visualization is updated depending on wich circles you clicked on before. Here you can also click on a bar to update the pie chart of the next section.
This pie chart represents the involvement of a party across different categories. We can quickly see which category they are most represented in.
The name of the category and its value can be seen while hovering the chart. Also you can change the party using the search bar above, and switch between the category types using the toggle.
The data was taken from
Lobbywatch.
Lobbywatch was an indispensable tool for this projet and generally
transparency in Swiss politics.
They provided crucial insights into the affiliations and lobbying
activities of members of the National Council and the Council of
States.
Their work allowed us to better understand the relationships between
politicians and lobbyists who have access to the Federal Palace.
Using their robust database contains over 48,000 data points, revealing
connections to various lobbies, associations and organizations.
This data served as the foundation for the visualizations you see on
this website, enabling a deeper understanding of political advocacy and
engagement across different lobbies.
