Context
In the last elections of 2013, the Patriotic Union lost a majority in parliament. As a result, the Progressive Civil Party became the ruling party thanks to an alliance with the new party The Independent — for Liechtenstein .
For the first time, four parties are sitting in Landtag at once, [3] which implies the existence of a protest vote against the austerity policy and, possibly, a decrease in the "party" vote. [3] [4] [5]
