Alternative List
The Alternative List (German: Alternative Liste), abbreviated to AL, is a socialist political party in Switzerland.
The AL has existed since 1990 as a loose coalition of left-wing activists. At the beginning of 2007, the AL Zurich was transformed into a political union. Beside Zürich, the AL is active in the cantons of Schaffhausen and Aargau.
The AL works closely with the Swiss Labour Party, solidaritéS and other leftist parties and organisations. They're participating in the new Swiss party Alternative Left, but no group of the Alternative List is constituted as a section of the party yet.
