The GLP was one of the leading political parties for legalising same-sex marriage in Switzerland, in which it was adopted in an optional referendum on 26 September 2021.
In October 2021, the GLP introduced a new, refreshed logo with the French slogan créateurs d'avenir (creators of the future). Since April 2022, there are cantonal parties in all 26 cantons.
Ideology and platform
The party supports ending the use of nuclear energy in Switzerland and terminating any subsidies to nuclear power companies.
On economic and fiscal matters the GLP is more centre-right. It supports Switzerland maintaining a balanced fiscal budget and continued tax competition between the Swiss cantons.[21] It also supports stronger regulation of large Swiss banks such as UBS, including liquidity requirements.[22]
The Green Liberals support closer EU-Swiss relations and on this question are considered ideologically closer to the Social Democrats and Green Party than to The Liberals or Swiss People's Party because they support Switzerland's accession to the European Economic Area.[19] However, unlike the Swiss left the GLP support lifting the Swiss ban on exporting weapons to Ukraine.[23]
