The Social Liberal Movement (SLM; German: Sozial-Liberale Bewegung, French: Mouvement socio-libéral, Italian: Movimento social-liberale) is a social conservative[1] party in Switzerland.
The SLM was founded on 23 April 2011 by Samuel Schmid,[2] a member of the Grand Council of Aargau originally elected from the right-wing Federal Democratic Union. He was joined in June by Ricardo Lumengo, a member of the National Council originally elected from the centre-left Social Democratic Party.
The SLM has branches in Aargau, Bern and Zurich, and claims hundreds of members.[3] It won no seats in the 2011 federal election, but 0.5% of the vote in Aargau and 0.3% of the vote in Bern.
