The Alternative List (AL; German: Alternative Liste) is a socialist political party in Zürich.

Quick Facts Founded, Ideology ...

The AL has existed since 1990 as a loose coalition of left-wing activists before becoming a party in 2007, with sections in the city of Zürich and the Limmat Valley. A movement in Winterthur is also associated to the party, and a section in the Horgen District was created in 2013.

The party for a time extended beyond the canton of Zürich, being also active in the cantons of Aargau from 2002 to 2006 and Schaffhausen from 2003 to 2022.[1]

The AL works closely with the Swiss Labour Party, solidaritéS and other leftist parties and organisations. They were involved in the federal party Alternative Left with other left-wing forces from 2010 until its dissolution in 2018.
