Call for Candidates!

Have you ever wondered how the Swiss who live abroad participate in and find out about which laws and policies will affect them? They are the CSA Delegates who represent the Swiss nationals who live and work in the UK on the Council of the Swiss Abroad. The Council of the Swiss Abroad (CSA) represents the interests of all Swiss citizens abroad vis-à-vis the authorities and public in Switzerland. It is also often referred to as the “Parliament of the Fifth Switzerland”.The UK has an allocation of five elected Delegates, based on the number of Swiss nationals living and working in the UK.
