Magic formula → Magic formula (Swiss politics) – I doubt that the Swiss political concept is the primary topic for the term "magic formula". — Ceso femmuin mbolgaig mbung, mellohi!

 * Oppose in the absence of any evidence. Dohn joe (talk) 19:39, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Support. This article trails well behind both magical formula and magic formula investing in pageviews (|Magical_formula|Magic_formula_investing link here). I think the primary "magic formula" title would be most appropriate as a DAB between these three articles, but could also see the case for a WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT to magical formula.

 * Support. Magic formula (disambiguation). Not just because this article trails well behind both magical formula and magic formula investing in pageviews, it evidently wouldn't be a PT for such a generic term in any case. In ictu oculi (talk) 11:57, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Support page move and DAB. – QueenofBithynia (talk) 15:43, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Support I was indeed surprised to it as primary topic. Superboilles (talk) 21:04, 24 October 2022 (UTC)

Coalition?
Hi. I'm Swiss and I have a hard time understanding why this article talks about "coalitions" when referring to the big four. As far as I know, there has never been an agreement between these parties to the exclusion of all others, or any kind of coalition. And certainly not a coalition of the kind you see in Germany or Italy, where a few parties come together to form a majority, there is no such thing here.

The magic formula is to have an executive that reflects as closely as possible the diversity of the population. And when the Greens overtook the Centre in 2019, there was a lot of talk about swapping the Centre's seat for a Green one. So wouldn't it be better just to call them the biggest parties in percentage of votes? LuckyBasterd (talk) 14:24, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
