2008 Grand Council of Basel-Stadt election
The Grand Council of Basel-Stadt election was held on 14 September 2008. It was the first election under the new constitution and a therefore smaller Grand Council of only 100 representatives instead of 130. Because of that all existing parties lost ground, particularly the Social Democratic Party. The Swiss People's Party and the Green Party both did relatively well. The Green Liberal Party entered the Grand Council with 5 representatives.Results
