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